Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of production lines, and in particular relates to a bottle cap feeding device. Background Art

[0002] The crown cap is a common type of bottle cap, usually used for soda, beer, juice and other beverages in glass bottles. The cap has a round opening, a central depression and wavy edges. When in use, you only need to press hard on the central depression of the bottle cap to bend it open. Therefore, the crown cap is limited by the usage scenario, usage method and manufacturing cost. The crown cap is mainly made by stamping iron sheets.

[0003] In conventional glass bottle beverage production lines, bottle caps are generally loaded onto the beverage production line through a vibrating plate mechanism. Since the vibrating plate mechanism loads the bottle caps by vibration, the bottle caps placed in the vibrating plate will rub and collide with each other for a long time, causing the pre-printed patterns on the bottle caps to be rubbed away and the corners of the bottle caps to be easily deformed or damaged. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a bottle cap feeding device to solve the technical defects described in the background technology.

[0005] The bottle cap feeding device includes a bottle cap collection area, a chain conveyor line and a bottle cap conveyor line, one end of the chain conveyor line is located above the bottle cap collection area, and the other end of the chain conveyor line is located above the bottle cap conveyor line. The chain conveyor line includes a conductive bar, a chain and a motor, the conductive bar is close to the lower layer of the chain, and the conductive bar extends from above the bottle cap collection area to above the bottle cap conveyor line. A plurality of plates are installed on the chain, and a conductive wheel and an electromagnet are installed on the plate. When the plate moves to the lower layer of the chain conveyor line, the conductive wheel slides to contact the conductive bar for conduction. When the plate moves to the upper layer of the chain conveyor line, the conductive wheel slides to separate from the conductive bar. The electromagnet is electrically connected to the conductive wheel. The electromagnet is used to adsorb the bottle caps on the bottle cap collection area. The motor is connected to the chain for transmission.

[0006] According to the technical solution, the utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0007] The motor drives the chain to move, and the chain drives the plate to move. When the plate moves to above the bottle cap collection area and is located at the lower layer of the chain conveyor line, the conductive wheel slides onto the conductive bar. At this time, the electromagnet is energized to adsorb the bottle caps on the bottle cap collection area; thereafter, the chain drives the plate to move above the bottle cap conveyor line, and the plate moves to the upper layer of the chain conveyor line along the trajectory of the chain. At this time, the conductive wheel slides and separates from the conductive bar, the electromagnet is powered off and stops adsorbing the bottle caps, and the bottle caps fall onto the bottle cap conveyor line. The bottle cap conveyor line then transports the bottle caps to the beverage production line, thereby realizing the transport of the bottle caps stacked in the bottle cap collection area to the bottle cap conveyor line.

[0008] Therefore, compared with the vibration plate mechanism, the present bottle cap loading device can effectively reduce the mutual friction and collision of the stacked bottle caps, thereby avoiding deformation and damage of the bottle caps and loss of the pictures on the bottle caps; in addition, compared with the clamp mechanism used in traditional automated production lines, the present bottle cap loading device can continuously load the bottle caps without having to wait for the clamp to return empty before transporting the next bottle cap.

[0009] In some embodiments, an end of the conductive strip located above the bottle cap collecting area is provided with an inclined guide surface for the conductive wheel to slide into, and the plate is installed with a spring for pushing the conductive wheel onto the conductive strip.

[0010] In some embodiments, the bottle cap collection area is equipped with a lifting screw module and a bottle cap storage box, the lifting screw module drives the bottle cap storage box to rise and fall, and the bottle cap storage box is provided with an avoidance slot for inserting one end of the chain conveyor line.

[0011] In some embodiments, both sides of the bottle cap storage box are provided with material guiding surfaces centered on the avoidance notch.

[0012] In some embodiments, the chain conveyor line is equipped with a distance sensor, and the distance sensor is used to sense the distance between the bottle caps in the bottle cap storage box and the electromagnet.

[0013] In some embodiments, the bottle cap collection area is further equipped with a scraper baffle. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this specific embodiment provides a bottle cap feeding device, which includes a bottle cap collection area 1, a chain conveyor line 2 and a bottle cap conveyor line 4. The bottle cap collection area 1 is used to store bottle caps to be loaded, one end of the chain conveyor line 2 is located above the bottle cap collection area 1, and the other end of the chain conveyor line 2 is located above the bottle cap conveyor line 4. The chain conveyor line 2 includes a conductive bar 21, a chain 22 and a motor. The conductive bar 21 is close to the lower layer of the chain 22. The conductive bar 21 extends from above the bottle cap collection area 1 to above the bottle cap conveyor line 4. Several plates 3 are installed on the chain 22, and conductive wheels 31 and electromagnets 32 are installed on the plates 3. When the plates 3 move to the lower layer of the chain conveyor line 2, the conductive wheels 31 slide to contact and conduct electricity with the conductive bars 21. When the plates 3 move to the upper layer of the chain conveyor line 2, the conductive wheels 31 slide to separate from the conductive bars 21. The electromagnet 32 ​​is electrically connected to the conductive wheel 31. The electromagnet 32 ​​is used to adsorb the bottle caps on the bottle cap collection area 1, and the motor is connected to the chain 22 for transmission.

[0023] The motor drives the chain 22 to move, and the chain 22 drives the plate 3 to move. When the plate 3 moves to above the bottle cap collection area 1 and is located at the lower layer of the chain conveyor line 2, the conductive wheel 31 slides onto the conductive bar 21. At this time, the electromagnet 32 ​​is energized to adsorb the bottle caps on the bottle cap collection area 1; thereafter, the chain 22 drives the plate 3 to move above the bottle cap conveyor line 4. When the plate 3 moves to the upper layer of the chain conveyor line 2 along the trajectory of the chain 22, the conductive wheel 31 slides and separates from the conductive bar 21, and the electromagnet 32 ​​is de-energized and stops adsorbing the bottle caps. At this time, the bottle caps fall onto the bottle cap conveyor line 4, and the bottle cap conveyor line 4 will then transport the bottle caps to the beverage production line, thereby realizing the transport of the bottle caps stacked in the bottle cap collection area 1 to the bottle cap conveyor line 4.

[0024] Compared to a vibrating plate mechanism, this bottle cap loading device effectively reduces friction and collision between stacked bottle caps, thereby preventing deformation and damage, and preventing images on the caps from being lost. Furthermore, compared to the clamping mechanism used in traditional automated production lines, this bottle cap loading device enables continuous loading, eliminating the need to wait for the clamp to return empty before handling the next bottle cap.

[0025] The bottle cap described in this embodiment is a crown cap made of iron.

[0026] In this embodiment, the end of the conductive bar 21 above the bottle cap collection area 1 is equipped with an inclined guide surface 211 for the conductive wheel 31 to slide onto. The plate 3 is equipped with a spring 311 to push the conductive wheel 31 against the conductive bar 21. When the plate 3 moves above the bottle cap collection area 1 and is located on the lower level of the chain conveyor line 2, the conductive wheel 31 can slide onto the conductive bar 21 more stably and smoothly. Furthermore, the provision of the spring 311 ensures that the conductive wheel 31 maintains a stable and close contact with the conductive bar 21, energizing it.

[0027] In this embodiment, the cap collection area 1 is equipped with a lifting screw module 11 and a cap storage box 12. The lifting screw module 11 drives the cap storage box 12 to rise and fall. The cap storage box 12 is provided with an escape slot 13 for inserting one end of the chain conveyor line 2. As the caps on the top layer of the cap storage box 12 are attracted and removed by the electromagnet 32 ​​of the plate 3, the lifting screw module 11 and the cap storage box 12 rise, so that the caps on the top of the cap storage box 12 are close to the electromagnet 32 ​​of the next plate 3, allowing the electromagnet 32 ​​of the next plate 3 to stably attract the caps.

[0028] In this embodiment, a material guiding surface 14 centered on the avoidance slot 13 is provided on both sides of the bottle cap storage box 12, so that the bottle caps stacked in the bottle cap storage box 12 can slide along the material guiding surface 14 to the bottom of the chain conveyor line 2, so that the electromagnet 32 ​​can adsorb all the bottle caps in the bottle cap storage box 12.

[0029] In this embodiment, the chain conveyor line 2 is installed with a distance sensor, which is used to sense the distance between the bottle caps in the bottle cap storage box 12 and the electromagnet 32. The distance sensor can be selected as an infrared distance sensor; through the setting of the distance sensor, it is possible to accurately control the lifting screw module 11 to drive the bottle cap storage box 12 to rise and fall.

[0030] In this embodiment, the bottle cap collection area 1 is also installed with a scraper baffle 15; when the bottle caps adsorbed by the electromagnet 32 ​​are in an upright state or the electromagnet 32 ​​adsorbs multiple bottle caps, during the process of the plate 3 moving out of the avoidance slot 13, the scraper baffle 15 can scrape the upright bottle caps or the extra bottle caps adsorbed by the electromagnet 32 ​​into the bottle cap storage box 12.
