In the pharmaceutical industry, capping machines play a crucial role. Pharmaceutical packaging requires strict sealing to prevent moisture, oxidation, contamination, and microbial intrusion, thereby ensuring the quality, stability, and safety of the drugs. For example, for bottles containing injections, oral liquid medications, vaccines, and other drugs, capping machines can tightly seal aluminum or plastic caps onto the bottle openings. For example, for the capping of antibiotic glass bottles, capping machines ensure that each bottle cap is securely sealed, preventing leakage or deterioration during storage and transportation, extending the shelf life of the drugs, and complying with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements to ensure patient medication safety.

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] As shown in the figure, the utility model discloses a capping machine, including an adjusting column 6, a driving wheel 16 is installed on the top of the adjusting column 6, and a driving wheel pressure plate 30 is installed on the top of the driving wheel 16 to prevent the driving wheel 16 from jumping. A core column 3 is installed on the adjusting column 6. Specifically, the adjusting column 6 passes through the core column 3. The core column 3 rotates, while the adjusting column 6 does not rotate. The core column 3 is located at the lower end of the driving wheel 16. A turntable 12, a connecting sleeve 14, a turntable 2 11 and a gear 4 are installed on the core column 3. The turntable 12 is located at the top of the core column 3. The gear 4 is located at the bottom of the core column 3. The connecting sleeve 14 is located between the turntable 12 and the turntable 2 11. A base 1 is provided between the turntable 2 11 and the gear 4. The base 1 is connected to the core column 3 through a bearing. The dial 20 is installed on the connecting sleeve. On the outside of the socket 14, the top of the driving wheel 16 is installed with an upper ring gear 17 through several connecting plates 22. The top of the pressure head assembly is engaged with the upper ring gear 17. The outer ring of the driving wheel 16 is provided with a spiral groove. One side of the pressure head assembly is located in the spiral groove. The outer side of the dial 20 is provided with a guillotine seat 18. A guillotine 19 is installed on the guillotine seat 18. A plurality of bottle support assemblies corresponding to the pressure head assembly are installed on the turntable 11. The lower end of the bottle support assembly is engaged with the lower ring gear 26. The lower ring gear 26 is mounted on the bottom bracket 2, and the bottom bracket 2 is connected to the base 1.

[0022] The spiral groove design ensures that one end of the ram assembly can only move along the groove, achieving lift and lowering. The upper ring gear 17 drives the ram assembly in rotation, while turntable 12 drives the ram assembly in orbital motion. The drive wheel 16 raises and lowers the ram assembly. The lower ring gear 26 drives the tray assembly in rotation, while turntable 2 11 drives the tray assembly in orbital motion. The barber is used for capping.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting sleeve 14 is connected to the turntable 12 by bolts, and the connecting sleeve 14 is connected to the turntable 2 11 by bolts. The lower end of the core column 3 is provided with a mounting ring 301, and the turntable 2 11 is connected to the mounting ring 301.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, the guillotine seat 18 is connected to the upper gear ring 17 through a plurality of gear ring supports 15. The guillotine seat 18 is used to install the guillotine.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ram assembly includes a ram rod 36, the upper and lower ends of which are connected to the ram sleeve 33 via bearings. A lifting block 35 is fixedly mounted on the top of the ram sleeve 33, and bearings 37 are mounted on both ends of the lifting block 35. One end of the lifting block 35 and the bearings are located in a spiral groove. The spiral groove limits the rotation of the lifting block 35, allowing the lifting block 35 to rise and fall. The top of the ram rod 36 engages with the upper ring gear 17, and the ram 34 is mounted on the bottom of the ram rod 36. When the ram rod 36 revolves, it will rotate due to the restriction of the upper ring gear, ultimately driving the ram 34 to rotate.

[0026] The top of the pressure head 34 is connected to the inner ring of the bearing, and the lower end of the pressure head rod 36 is connected to the inner ring of the bearing. Here, the outer ring of the bearing is connected to the pressure head sleeve 33. The pressure head rod 36 drives the pressure head 34 to rotate, and the pressure head sleeve 33 drives the pressure head 34 to rise and fall through the bearing.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of vertical guide rods 27 are mounted on the turntable 12, and the other end of the lifting block 35 and the bearing 37 are located between two guide rods 27. The two guide rods limit the bearing 37, and thus the lifting block 35, so that the lifting block 35 can only be raised and lowered, but not rotated.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bottle support assembly includes a bottle holder 32 mounted on a turntable 31. The turntable 31 is mounted on turntable 2 11 via two bearings. The lower end of the turntable 31 engages with the lower ring gear 26. The bottle holder 32 comprises a body 321 and a connecting rod 322. The top of the connecting rod 322 is mounted midway below the body 321. The connecting rod 322 passes through the turntable 31. Springs 5 ​​are installed between the lower end of the body 321 and the upper end of the turntable 31. When a bottle enters the bottle holder 32, the spring 5 prevents hard contact, facilitating capping.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the adjustment column 6 is connected to the bottom support plate 7 via a nut 10. A stop plate 8 is mounted on the adjustment column 6, and a stop rod 9 is mounted on the bottom support plate 7. The stop rod 9 extends through the stop plate 8. The adjustment column 6 can be raised or lowered and secured with the nut 10 after the raising or lowering is complete. The stop plate 8 and stop rod 9 prevent the adjustment column 6 from rotating when adjusting the top position of the adjustment column 6.

[0030] Of course, the present invention also has a top cover 28 installed to provide protection.

[0031] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
