[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of the capping device for the boxed cold drink product provided by the present invention; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The main view; Figure 3 for Figure 2 Bottom view of each capping device.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a capping device 1000 for packaged cold beverage products. The packaged cold beverage product (not shown) includes a packaging box and the cold beverage product within the packaging box. The packaging box includes a box body and a lid. The capping device 1000 includes a bracket 1100, a driving component 1200, an adapter component 1300, and at least two capping devices 1400.

[0030] The bracket 1100 is fixedly arranged, specifically, it can be fixed on some installation platforms or installation frames involved in the production system of boxed cold drink products. In short, as long as the bracket 1100 can be reliably installed and fixed, it will be fine.

[0031] The structure of the bracket 1100 can be various, and no obvious limitation is made here. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can choose according to specific needs. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bracket 1100 may include a horizontal frame 1110 and two vertical frames 1120. The two vertical frames 1120 may be arranged at intervals on both sides of the horizontal frame 1110. Furthermore, both vertical frames 1120 may be connected to the horizontal frame 1110. The specific connection method may be, for example, welding, screw connection, clamping, riveting, etc., which is not limited here, as long as the reliability requirements can be met. The two vertical frames 1120 can be used to fix the bracket 1100. The specific fixing method may also be, for example, welding, screw connection, clamping, riveting, etc., which is not limited here, as long as the reliability requirements can be met.

[0032] The number of the driving component 1200 is one. The driving component 1200 is mounted on the bracket 1100, specifically, it can be mounted on the aforementioned cross frame 1110. The driving component 1200 includes a driving rod 1220, and the driving rod 1220 can be displaced along its axial direction. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The axial direction of the driving rod 1220 may specifically refer to the up-down direction. The driving rod 1220 is connected to the adapter 1300. Specifically, the driving rod 1220 may be connected to the adapter 1300 at its lower end. Each capping device 1400 is mounted on the adapter 1300, and each capping device 1400 can apply a pressing force to the lid of a different packaging box.

[0033] The embodiment of the present invention adopts an automated capping solution that uses a driving component 1200 and a capping device 1400 in conjunction with each other, where the driving component 1200 drives the capping device 1400 to automatically connect the lid to the box body. This significantly reduces manual labor and frees up manpower. At the same time, it also improves the stability of the capping process, ensuring a reliable connection between the lid and the box body.

[0034] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present invention utilizes a single driving component 1200 for simultaneous use with multiple capping devices 1400, which can reduce the number of driving components 1200 used, thereby simplifying the specific structure of the capping device 1000 and reducing the cost of using the capping device 1000 provided by the embodiment of the present invention. The single driving component 1200 and the multiple capping devices 1400 can be connected via an adapter component 1300, thereby enabling the technical solution of having a single driving component 1200 drive multiple capping devices 1400.

[0035] Here, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific structural form of the above-mentioned driving component 1200. In actual application, those skilled in the art can make a selection according to specific needs, as long as it can meet the requirements of use.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the driving component 1200 can be a driving cylinder, such as a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, etc., which can include a cylinder body 1210 and a piston rod. The cylinder body 1210 can be mounted on the bracket 1100, specifically, on the aforementioned cross frame 1110, and the piston rod can be a driving rod 1220.

[0037] In another specific solution, the driving component 1200 may also be a motor as a driving element. Since the displacement output by the motor is in the form of rotational displacement, it cannot directly meet the movement requirements of the capping device 1400. Therefore, in this solution, the driving component 1200 may also include a displacement conversion mechanism in the form of a rack and pinion mechanism, a screw mechanism, etc., so as to convert the rotational displacement directly output by the motor into the linear displacement required by the capping device 1400. Taking the displacement conversion mechanism as a rack and pinion mechanism as an example, the driving rod 1220 at this time may be a rack. Taking the displacement conversion mechanism as a screw mechanism as an example, the driving rod 1220 at this time may be a screw nut.

[0038] In addition, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific structural form of the above-mentioned adapter component 1300. In actual application, those skilled in the art can make a selection according to specific needs, as long as it can meet the requirements of use.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the transition component 1300 may include a transition horizontal portion 1310 and a transition vertical portion 1320 .

[0040] The transition horizontal portion 1310 can be directly connected to the drive rod 1220. The specific connection method can be, for example, welding, screw connection, clamping, riveting, etc., which is not limited here, as long as it can meet the reliability requirements. The transition vertical portion 1320 can be connected to the transition horizontal portion 1310. The specific connection method can be, for example, welding, screw connection, clamping, riveting, etc., which is not limited here, as long as it can meet the reliability requirements. In addition, the number of transition vertical portions 1320 can be consistent with the number of capping devices 1400, and each transition vertical portion 1320 can be connected to the capping device 1400 in a one-to-one correspondence, so that each capping device 1400 can be driven to operate simultaneously through the transition horizontal portion 1310; the specific connection method can be, for example, welding, screw connection, clamping, riveting, etc., which is not limited here, as long as it can meet the reliability requirements.

[0041] In some optional implementations, the capping device 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a guiding component 1500 .

[0042] The guide member 1500 may include a guide portion 1510 and a guide rod 1520. The central axis of the guide rod 1520 may be parallel to the central axis of the drive rod 1220. The guide rod 1520 and the guide portion 1510 may be slidably connected, and each capping device 1400 may be connected to at least one guide rod 1520. Thus, through the cooperation of the guide rod 1520 and the guide portion 1510, the displacement of the capping device 1400 can be guided, which helps to ensure the directionality of the displacement of the capping device 1400.

[0043] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the implementation mode of the present invention, a capping device 1400 can be configured with only one guide rod 1520. Of course, it can also be that a capping device 1400 is configured with two or more guide rods 1520, which is also feasible.

[0044] In practical applications, the guide portions 1510 and the guide rods 1520 can be in a one-to-one matching relationship, that is, the number of guide portions 1510 and guide rods 1520 can be consistent and can be connected one-to-one. Alternatively, the number of guide portions 1510 can be only one, and then each guide rod 1520 is slidably connected to the same guide portion 1510. In this case, the number of guide portions 1510 is relatively small, and the installation of the guide portions 1510 can be relatively convenient.

[0045] Still Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of the drawings, the guide portion 1510 can be a single one, and the guide portion 1510 can be specifically L-shaped, including a vertical plate portion and a horizontal plate portion. The vertical plate portion can be connected to the bracket 1100, and the horizontal plate portion can be provided with a plurality of guide holes, and each guide rod 1520 can be slidably connected to each guide hole.

[0046] The guide portion 1510 and the bracket 1100 may be connected in various ways, such as welding, screw connection, clamping, riveting, etc., which are not limited here, as long as the reliability requirements of the connection can be met.

[0047] In some optional implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the capping tool 1400 in the embodiment of the present invention may be plate-shaped, and a ring groove 1410 may be provided on the side of the capping tool 1400 facing the box cover. The ring groove 1410 is used to adapt to the protrusion on the surface of the box cover to apply the required pressing force to the box cover.

[0048] It should be understood that the annular groove 1410 is provided because the box cover is provided with a protrusion, so the annular groove 1410 needs to be provided to match the protrusion. However, if the box cover is not provided with a protrusion, the annular groove 1410 can also be omitted. In other words, the annular groove 1410 is not a structure that must be provided in the capping device 1400 in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] In some optional implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the capping device 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a limiting component 1600 .

[0050] The limiting component 1600 can be a limiting structure in the form of a limiting plate, a limiting block, etc., which can be installed on the bracket 1100. Specific installation methods include welding, screw connection, clamping, riveting, etc. The limiting component 1600 is used to form a stop for the adapter component 1300, thereby limiting the displacement of the capping device 1400 toward the box cover, which can largely avoid crushing the box cover and help ensure the connection between the box cover and the box body.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a simplified structural diagram of the production system of the boxed cold drink product provided by the present invention; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the template structure.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention further provides a production system for boxed cold drink products, including a transport device 2000 and a capping device 1000, wherein the capping device 1000 is the capping device 1000 for boxed cold drink products involved in the aforementioned implementations.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present invention, the transport device 2000 can be a chain transport component, etc., which can transport the template 2100. The template 2100 can be provided with a plurality of mold holes 2110, the number of which can be consistent with the number of the capping device 1400, and each mold hole 2110 is used to place a box body.

[0054] The production system also includes a cold drink product injection station and a capping station. The capping station can be located downstream of the injection station, and the capping device 1000 can also be located downstream of the capping station. At the injection station, the cold drink product can be injected into the box body. At the capping station, the cap can be manually or mechanically applied to the upper side of the box body. The template 2100 then drives the box body and the lid to the capping device 1000 for capping.

[0055] Here, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific dimensions of the above-mentioned template 2100 and the mold hole 2110. In actual applications, those skilled in the art can design it based on specific parameters such as the size of the box body, as long as it can meet the requirements of use.

[0056] In a specific scenario, Figure 5 As shown, the template 2100 may have a length L1 and a width W1, wherein the length L1 may be approximately 870 mm, and the width W1 may be approximately 130 mm.

[0057] The length L2 of the die hole 2110 can be approximately between 114.5 mm and 115.5 mm. The width of the die hole 2110 can be approximately between 73.5 mm and 74.5 mm. The depth of the die hole 2110 can be approximately between 1.8 mm and 2.2 mm. It should be understood that the depth of the die hole 2110 also refers to the thickness of the die plate 2100.

[0058] In some optional implementations, the ratio of the spacing D between two adjacent die holes 2110 and the size W2 of the die holes 2110 along the length of the template 2100 can be between 0.25 and 0.5. This allows for a relatively large spacing between adjacent die holes 2110 to ensure the structural strength of the template 2100. At the same time, the space on the template 2100 can be reasonably utilized to arrange as many die holes 2110 as possible, thereby achieving efficient utilization of the template 2100.

[0059] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
