Without the automatic lubrication function, manual inspection and lubrication of the capping machines are required frequently. Moreover, manual lubrication is difficult to be comprehensive and accurate, and it is easy to miss some parts that need lubrication. As the wear of parts increases, the frequency of maintenance and replacement will also increase, which means that companies need to invest more manpower to maintain the equipment, including regular shutdown inspections, adding lubricating oil, disassembly and replacement of worn parts, etc. At the same time, more spare parts need to be reserved, which increases inventory costs and the overall cost of equipment maintenance. Therefore, a capping machine is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a capping machine, comprising a workbench 1. The workbench 1 is made of a sturdy metal material, such as stainless steel, and has good stability and load-bearing capacity. It can be firmly placed on the production site and provide a reliable support foundation for the entire device. The bracket 2 is made of a high-strength aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and strong enough to stand stably on the workbench 1 and provide hanging support for other components. The outer side of the bracket 2 is slidably connected to an adjustment component for adjusting parts.

[0033] The cylinder 8, fixed to the top of the adjustment assembly, features a high-quality metal casing. Key components, such as the internal piston 13, are highly precise and powerful, providing stable driving force and a reliable source of power for the vertical movement of the PU block 5. The PU block 5 is soft, flexible, and uniform. When in contact with the product 21, it applies the appropriate pressure to ensure secure installation without scratching the surface, providing both a cushioning and a pressing effect.

[0034] The smooth surface of the slide rail 6, fixed to the top of the PU rubber block 5, is meticulously polished and specially treated to minimize friction, facilitating smooth board sliding and assisting in smooth adjustment. A spring 7, fixed to one side of the board, is made of a highly elastic alloy steel with excellent elasticity. It deforms under external forces to store elastic potential energy and quickly returns to its original shape upon removal, providing a buffering and restoring function and ensuring smooth component movement.

[0035] The sliding rod 9 that is slidably connected inside the adjustment component is made of wear-resistant alloy steel, and its surface is polished with high precision. It has low sliding friction inside the fixed plate 4 and slides smoothly. It can accurately follow the movement of the components and ensure the accuracy of the adjustment action. The ball 11 that is slidably connected to the outer end of the sliding rod 9 is made of bearing steel with high hardness and smooth surface. It rolls flexibly, can reduce friction, and can also evenly bring out lubricating oil during sliding, improving the lubrication effect. The oil storage tank 10 that is rotatably connected to the outside of the ball 11 can be made of oil-resistant and corrosion-resistant plastic or metal. It has a reasonable internal structure, can effectively store lubricating oil, and works well with the ball 11, ensuring that the lubricating oil is brought out as needed, achieving continuous lubrication of the sliding rod 9.

[0036] The oil inlet 12, fixed to the top of the oil reservoir 10, facilitates the operator's injection of lubricating oil. Its appropriately sized opening fits snugly with the piston 13, ensuring smooth oil inflow while preventing oil leakage and ensuring the proper operation of the lubrication system. The piston 13 is constructed from a sealable rubber and metal combination. The outer rubber sealing ring 14 fits snugly against the inner wall of the oil inlet 12, effectively controlling the flow of lubricating oil, ensuring a tight seal within the oil reservoir 10, and preventing oil leakage.

[0037] The guide rail 15 fixed to the top of the workbench 1 has a smooth and high-precision surface. Made of cemented carbide, it guides the smooth sliding of the jig 16, ensuring accurate positioning and facilitating subsequent part manipulation. The jig 16, which slides inside the guide rail 15, is customized for the product 21. Its main body is made of durable engineering plastic or metal, which can accurately support and position the product 21 and provide a stable platform for operations such as part installation. The inner wall of the chute 17 provided in the jig 16 is smooth and has high dimensional accuracy. It is compatible with the sliding block 19, allowing the sliding block 19 to slide smoothly and ensuring that the various components of the component can be flexibly adjusted to the situation of the product 21.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The adjustment assembly includes a limiting plate 3, made of a rigid sheet metal. Its interior is slidably connected to the exterior of bracket 2, allowing it to precisely slide up and down along bracket 2, limiting and guiding the overall movement of the adjustment assembly and ensuring accurate and stable adjustment. A fixed plate 4, slidably connected to one side of the limiting plate 3, allows for horizontal adjustment within the constraints of the plate 3, driving the precise movement of connected components to meet operational requirements.

[0039] The adaptive assembly includes multiple springs 18, made of highly resilient alloy steel with an appropriate elastic coefficient. When the internal dimensions of product 21 vary, they adapt to pressure and expand and contract through their own elastic deformation. The anti-slip ring 20, fixed to the outside of the sliding block 19, flexibly contracts and expands in response to pressure from the inner wall of product 21 when in contact with it, ensuring that products 21 of varying sizes can be securely mounted on the fixture 16 and preventing loosening.

[0040] Working principle: When the staff needs to install the product 21 on the top of the jig 16, they can place the product 21 on the top of the jig 16 and then start the cylinder 8 to drive the fixed plate 4, so that the fixed plate 4 presses the PU rubber block 5 downward, thereby achieving the installation of the product 21 on the top of the jig 16. When the cylinder 8 drives the fixed plate 4, it will also drive the sliding rod 9 to slide downward. An oil storage tank 10 is provided inside the fixed plate 4, and a plurality of balls 11 are provided inside the oil storage tank 10. In this way, when the sliding rod 9 slides downward, the balls 11 are driven to drive the lubricating oil inside the oil storage tank 10 out through the balls 11, thereby achieving automatic lubrication of the outside of the sliding rod 9, and the lubricating oil can be poured into the oil storage tank 10 through the oil inlet 12.

[0041] When the PU rubber block 5 presses the product 21 downward, a plurality of springs 2 18 are provided inside the jig 16, and a sliding block 19 is connected to the outside of the spring 2 18, and an anti-slip ring 20 is provided on the outside of the sliding block 19. In this way, when the anti-slip ring 20 is pressed down, the inner wall of the product 21 presses the anti-slip ring 20 to shrink inward, so as to avoid negligence in the production of the product 21, which may cause the internal size of the product 21 to be different, thereby causing the product 21 to loosen when it is installed on the top of the jig 16.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
