[0024] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following figures. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent figures. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or apparatuses.

[0025] As mentioned in the background technology, in order to solve the problems in the prior art, this embodiment provides a bottle cap screwing device with an ejection mechanism, which is characterized by comprising:

[0026] The frame 1 has a cam 2 fixed on the top thereof, a guide slot 21 being provided on the outer periphery of the cam 2, a fixing ring 3 being provided around the cam 2 on the top of the frame 1, an inner gear ring 31 being provided on the inner wall of the fixing ring 3, and a driving mechanism being further provided on the frame 1;

[0027] The main shaft 4 is connected to the cam 2 and the bottom of the frame 1 in a vertical rotation direction, and can rotate along the first rotation direction under the drive of the driving mechanism; a rotating body 5 is sleeved on the main shaft 4, and a plurality of screwing mechanisms 51 are circumferentially penetrated by the rotating body 5. The top of the screwing mechanism 51 slides with the guide slide 21, and its bottom end has a grabbing portion 511 for grabbing the bottle cap. A transmission gear 52 is sleeved on the screwing mechanism 51 above the rotating body 5, and a transition gear 53 is meshed between the transmission gear 52 and the inner gear ring 31 on the rotating body 5; the screwing mechanism 51 also has an ejection portion 513, which is used to eject the bottle cap stuck in the grabbing portion 511 after the screwing mechanism 51 completes the screwing action.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the first rotation direction is the direction of tightening the bottle cap, and the second rotation direction is the direction of loosening the bottle cap. The frame 1 is a frame structure, including a top plate and a base, and a support column is connected between the top plate and the base; the cam 2 is fixed on the top plate, and a guide groove 21 is provided on the outer periphery of the cam 2. The opening of the guide groove 21 faces the circumference of the cam 2, and thrust ball bearings are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the guide groove 21. A fixing ring 3 is provided around the cam 2. The fixing ring 3 is similar to a cylindrical shell and is fixed on the top plate. An inner gear ring 31 is provided on its inner wall. The driving mechanism is used to drive the entire equipment to operate.

[0029] The main shaft 4 is arranged between the cam 2 and the base in the vertical direction, and can be rotated 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 a cylindrical structure. A plurality of screwing mechanisms 51 are evenly penetrated along the circumferential edge of the rotating body 5. The screwing mechanism 51 is rotatably connected to the rotating body 5. The top end of the screwing mechanism is arranged between two thrust ball bearings in the guide chute 21 and can be raised and lowered under the guidance of the guide chute 21. The bottom end has a rubber bowl, that is, the above-mentioned grasping part 511, which can be grasped by pressing down on the bottle cap and buckling with the bottle cap; screwing A transmission gear 52 is sleeved on the mechanism 51, and a transition gear 53 is also meshed between each transmission gear 52 and the inner ring gear 31 on the rotating body 5. In this embodiment, the transition gear 53 adopts a double gear, which is meshed with the inner ring gear 31 and the transmission gear 52 respectively, and is used to transmit torque and enable the screwing mechanism 51 to rotate around the main shaft 4 along the first rotation direction driven by the rotating body 5, and also to rotate along the first rotation direction so that the bottle cap is tightened on the bottle body; the ejection part 513 is used to eject the bottle cap stuck in the gripping part 511 after the screwing mechanism 51 completes the screwing action.

[0030] When in use, the screwing device is started, the driving mechanism drives the main shaft 4 to rotate, the rotating body 5 rotates along the first rotation direction, and the screwing mechanism 51 rotates around the main shaft 4 under the drive of the rotating body 5, and at the same time rotates along the first rotation direction under the action of the inner ring gear 31 and the transition gear 53, and its top slides along the extension track of the guide slot 21; if the screwing mechanism 51 grabs an unqualified bottle cap, the bottle cap is stuck in the grabbing part 511 after screwing, and when the screwing mechanism 51 rises under the guidance of the guide slot 21, the ejecting part 513 can be extended from the grabbing part 511, ejecting the bottle cap stuck in the grabbing part 511 so that the grabbing part 511 can normally grab a new bottle cap and continue to complete the next screwing action.

[0031] By providing an ejector 513 on the screwing mechanism 51, when the screwing mechanism 51 grabs an unqualified bottle cap and fails to complete the screwing, the ejector 513 can eject the bottle cap stuck in the gripping portion 511, so that the gripping portion 511 can normally grab a new bottle cap, thereby ensuring the screwing qualification rate.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the screwing mechanism 51 has a first state and a second state. When in the first state, the ejection portion 513 extends from the gripping portion 511, allowing the bottle cap stuck in the gripping portion 511 to fall off; when in the second state, the ejection portion 513 is retracted from the gripping portion 511.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, when the screwing mechanism 51 completes the screwing action, the ejection portion 513 extends from the gripping portion, causing the bottle cap stuck in the gripping portion 511 to fall off, that is, the first state mentioned above. After the ejection action is completed, the ejection portion 513 can be retracted by the gripping portion 511, so that the gripping portion 511 can normally grip the bottle cap, that is, the second state mentioned above. The screwing mechanism 51 is driven to rotate under the guidance of the curved groove 21 by the rotating body 5, so that the screwing mechanism 51 can switch between the first state and the second state.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the screwing mechanism 51 includes a sleeve 512, which is passed through the rotating body 5 and is rotatably connected to the rotating body 5. The top of the sleeve 512 slides in cooperation with the guide groove 21, and a grabbing portion 511 is provided at its bottom end. A ejection portion 513 is provided inside the sleeve 512, and an elastic member is connected to the outer periphery of the ejection portion 513. The free end of the elastic member is fixed to the inner wall of the sleeve 512. A strip hole 514 is provided on the sleeve 512 near 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, and the retaining ring 515 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the sleeve 512 and fixed to the ejection portion 513 through the strip hole 514.

[0035] like Figure 2As shown, a fixed sleeve is further provided between the shaft sleeve 512 and the rotating body 5. The upper and lower ends of the fixed sleeve have annular protrusions, 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. A thrust ball bearing is provided between the fixed sleeve and the rotating body 5, so that the fixed sleeve can be rotatably connected to 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. The transmission gear 52 and the fixed sleeve are connected to the shaft by the sliding key. The sleeve 512 is connected to the transmission gear 52 and the fixed sleeve. At the same time, 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 groove 21 and can slide with the guide groove 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. The sleeve 512 is close to the rotating body 5 The 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, and 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 groove 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 caught by the grasping part 511 The gripping portion 512 extends outward 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 capping 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 capping operation. At this 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.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, it also includes a rotary support 6, which is located below the rotary body 5 and is sleeved on the main shaft 4. A plurality of bottle holders 61 are circumferentially provided on the rotary support 6, and the plurality of bottle holders 61 correspond one-to-one to the screwing mechanisms 51 respectively; a limiting mechanism 7 is also sleeved on the main shaft 4 between the rotary body 5 and the rotary support 6, which is used to relatively fix the bottle body and the bottle holder 61.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, the rotary support 6 is also a cylindrical structure. A plurality of bottle holders 61 are evenly arranged along the circumferential edge of the rotary support 6. The bottle holders 61 correspond one to one with the screwing mechanism 51 in the vertical direction. A rubber pad is provided on the bearing plane of the bottle holder 61 to increase the friction between the bearing plane and the bottom of the bottle body; the limiting mechanism 7 includes a first turntable and a second turntable, which are arranged 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 body, and the second arc-shaped notch matches the contour of the bottle body, which is used to limit the bottle body when screwing the bottle cap.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, multiple bottle holders 61 are respectively rotatably connected to the swivel support 6, and a reverse friction block 62 is provided on one side of the bottle holder 61 so as to be in rolling contact with the bottle holder. The side of the reverse friction block 62 close to the bottle holder 61 is an arc-shaped structure, and the bending direction of the arc-shaped structure is toward the side away from the bottle holder 61, so that when the bottle holder 61 rotates around the main shaft 4 driven by the swivel support 6 and passes through the reverse friction block 62, it rotates along the second rotation direction under the action of the reverse friction block 62, and the second rotation direction is opposite to the first rotation direction.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the reverse friction block 62 is a double-arc structure, which is provided on one side of the bottle holder 61 and is located on the stroke of the screwing mechanism 51 screwing the bottle cap and the bottle body. The contour of the side close to the bottle holder 61 matches the rotation trajectory of the bottle holder 61 around the main axis. The reverse friction block 62 with an arc structure can better act on the bottle holder 61 during the rotation process, causing it to rotate along the second rotation direction.

[0040] By providing a rotatable bottle holder 61 and providing a reverse friction block 62 on one side of the bottle holder 61 that is in rolling contact with the bottle holder 61, when the bottle holder 61 rotates around the main shaft 4 under the drive of the rotary support 6 and passes through the reverse friction block 62, it rotates along the second rotation direction under the action of the reverse friction block 62. At the same time, when the screwing mechanism 51 rotates around the main shaft 4 under the drive of the rotating body 5, it rotates along the first rotation direction under the action of the inner ring gear 31 and the transition 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 rotatably matched to achieve quick buckle recognition and avoid damage to the thread caused by interaction between the bottle cap and the bottle mouth during the screwing process.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, a one-way bearing 63 is provided between the bottle holder 61 and the swivel support 6 so that the bottle holder 61 can only rotate along the second rotation direction.

[0042] like Figure 3As shown, the one-way bearing 63 can limit the rotation direction of the bottle holder 61, so that the bottle holder 61 can only rotate in the second rotation direction relative to the rotary support 6, even if the bottle cap is rotated in the direction of tightening at the bottle mouth, to avoid that when the internal thread of the bottle cap and the external thread of the bottle mouth match to a certain extent, the shear force applied to the bottle body by the screwing mechanism 51 through the bottle cap is greater than the friction force between the bottle body and the bottle holder 61, and then the bottle body rotates with the bottle cap so that the bottle cap cannot be completely tightened with the bottle body.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, it further includes a cap feeding mechanism, which includes a rotating table 8. The rotating table 8 can rotate along the second rotation direction. The rotating table 8 is provided with a plurality of arc grooves in the circumference of the table surface, and the arc grooves are used to place the bottle caps. The rotating table 8 and the rotating body 5 have an intersection in the vertical direction, so that the screwing mechanism 51 can correspond to the arc groove in the vertical direction when the rotating body 5 rotates, so that the grasping portion 511 can grasp the bottle cap from the rotating table 8.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the cap feeding mechanism is mainly used to convey bottle caps for the capping machine to grasp. The rotating table 8 is approximately a cylindrical structure and can rotate at the same speed as the rotating body 5. The inner contour of the arc groove on the rotating table 8 matches the outer contour of the bottle cap and is used to place the bottle cap. The rotating table 8 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 8 and the rotation trajectory of the screwing mechanism 51 have an overlap point, and then when the screwing mechanism 51 rotates to the overlap point position, the bottle cap on the rotating table 8 can be grasped.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the guide chute 21 comprises 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 which are sequentially connected end to end.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the guide slot 21 can guide the screwing mechanism 51, and its first horizontal section 211 is the process of the screwing mechanism 51 grabbing the bottle cap on the rotating table 8 and rotating in the horizontal direction, the first descending section 212 is the process of the screwing mechanism 51 descending toward the bottle body while rotating and screwing the bottle cap with the bottle body, the second horizontal section 213 is the process of the screwing mechanism 51 and the bottle holder 61 rotating synchronously until the screwing is completed when the bottle cap is screwed with the bottle body, the first ascending section 214 is the process of the screwing mechanism 51 rising after the screwing action is completed so that the ejection part 513 ejects the bottle cap stuck in the grabbing part 511, and until the screwing mechanism 51 rises to a height higher than the rotating table 8 in the vertical direction, and the second descending section 215 is the process of the screwing mechanism 51 approaching the rotating table 8 and grabbing the bottle cap through the grabbing part 511.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, a support platform 9 is provided on one side of the rotating table 8, and the support platform 9 is located in the rotation direction of the grabbing part 511; the first horizontal section 211 is provided with a recessed work station 2111, and the recessed work station 2111 allows the grabbing part 511 to slide in contact with the surface of the support platform 9.

[0048] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support platform 9 and the rotating table 8 are at the same height in the vertical direction. When the screwing mechanism 51 rotates to the first horizontal section 211 of the guide slot 21, the grabbing portion 511 of the screwing mechanism 51 grabs the bottle cap and rotates horizontally. When it rotates to the recessed position 2111, the grabbing portion 511 contacts the table surface of the support platform 9. The screwing mechanism 51 descends along the recessed position 2111 so that the bottle cap of the grabbing portion 511 is completely embedded in the rubber bowl under the action of the support platform 9, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of the bottle cap falling off due to the grabbing portion 511 grabbing the bottle cap being too small.

[0049] 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 6 to rotate along the first rotation direction, and the rotating platform 8 of the cap feeding mechanism is driven to rotate along the second rotation direction; take the screwing mechanism 51 and the corresponding bottle holder 61 located at the connection between the second horizontal section 213 and the first rising section 214 as an example, at this time, the screwing mechanism 51 completes the screwing operation, the grabbing part 511 does not grab the bottle cap, the screwing mechanism 51 is driven by the rotating body 5 to enter the first rising section 214, and rises relative to the rotating body 5 under the guidance of the guide groove 21, and the retaining ring 51 The rotating body 5 is limited in position and cannot rise simultaneously with the screwing mechanism 51, so that the ejection portion 513 compresses the spring and extends from 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 capping operation, causing the gripping portion 511 to repeatedly grip the bottle cap; then the screwing mechanism 51 enters the second descending section 215, ready to perform the capping operation, at which time the rotating body 5 releases the limit on the retaining ring 515, causing the ejection portion 513 to rise relative to the screwing mechanism 51 under the action of the spring elastic force, and retract into the shaft sleeve 512 by the gripping portion 511, and the screwing mechanism 51 descends. The gripping portion 511 contacts the bottle cap on the rotating table 8 and grips it. After gripping, the screwing mechanism 51 enters the first horizontal section 211. When the screwing mechanism 51 moves to the concave position 2111 of the first horizontal section 211, the gripping portion 511 contacts the table surface of the support platform 9. The screwing mechanism 51 descends along the concave position 2111 at this time so that the bottle cap of the gripping portion 511 is completely embedded in the rubber bowl by the support platform 9, thereby preventing the gripping portion 511 from gripping the bottle cap too small and causing the bottle cap to fall off. Then the screwing mechanism 51 enters the first descending section 212, and the gripping portion 51 1 approaches the bottle body on the corresponding bottle holder 61. When the screwing mechanism 51 moves to the end of the first descending section 212, the bottle cap contacts the bottle mouth of the bottle body. The screwing mechanism 51 is acted upon by the inner gear ring 31 and the transition gear 53 to make the bottle cap rotate along the first rotation direction. The bottle holder 61 is acted upon by the reverse friction block 62 to make the bottle body rotate along the second rotation direction. The bottle body and the bottle cap rotating in opposite directions can be rotatably matched, so that the internal thread of the bottle cap and the external thread of the bottle mouth are quickly locked, thereby preventing the internal thread of the bottle cap and the external thread of the bottle mouth from being misaligned with each other when the screwing mechanism 51 descends, thereby preventing damage to the threads.
