[0050] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0051] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0052] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, directional words such as "up, down, top, bottom" are usually used with reference to the directions shown in the drawings, or with reference to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above directional words are not used to limit the present invention.

[0053] To address the problem that existing capping equipment often uses a single rotating mechanism to tighten the bottle cap, a process that often requires the machine to be shut down to accurately position the bottle under the screwing mechanism. This intermittent operation not only reduces overall production efficiency but also increases energy consumption and wear during equipment shutdown and startup. More importantly, it is difficult to achieve continuous and synchronous coordination with the bottle conveyor, thus limiting the degree of automation of the entire production line. Therefore, the existing bottle cap packaging equipment in the art experiences pauses during the capping process, affecting operational efficiency. To address this technical problem, the present utility model provides a new bottle cap sealing device.

[0054] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0055] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model provides a bottle cap packaging device, which includes a bottle cap supply device 1, a bottle conveying device 2 and a capping device 3. The capping device 3 includes a base 31, a horizontal linear module 32, a vertical linear module 33, a power module 34, a bottle cap clamping unit 35 and a bottle positioning unit 36. The horizontal linear module 32 is arranged on the base 31 and connected to the vertical linear module 33. The power module 34 is arranged on the vertical linear module 33 and has a pivotable output end 341. The bottle cap clamping unit 35 is arranged at the end of the output end 341, and the bottle positioning unit 36 ​​is arranged on the vertical linear module 33 corresponding to the bottle cap clamping unit 35 and is located below the bottle cap clamping unit 35. The bottle cap supplying device 1 is at least used to supply bottle caps 100 to the bottle cap clamping unit 35. The bottle conveying device 2 is spaced apart from the base 31 in the horizontal direction and is located below the bottle positioning unit 36, and is configured to convey bottles 200 along the direction of operation of the horizontal linear module 32.

[0056] It should be noted that, in this utility model, reference Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal linear module runs in the X direction in the figure, and the vertical linear module runs in the Y direction in the figure.

[0057] The operating principle of the present invention is mainly as follows: when the horizontal linear module 32 is running, it can drive the vertical linear module 33 to run in the horizontal linear module running direction X; and when the vertical linear module 33 is running, it can drive the power module 34 to move in the vertical linear module running direction Y. The power module 34 has a pivotable output end 341, and the bottle cap clamping unit 35 is arranged on the output end 341. The bottle cap clamping unit 35 clamps the bottle cap 100, and the vertical linear module 33 drives the power module 34 to move downward when it is running. The bottle cap clamping unit 35 clamps the bottle cap 100 and presses it down onto the opening of the bottle body 200. Then, the power module 34 is started, causing the output end 341 to pivot to tighten the bottle cap 100. During the tightening process, the horizontal linear module 32 can drive the vertical linear module 33 to move horizontally, and the running direction of the bottle conveying device 2 is the same as the running direction X of the horizontal linear module. The two can move synchronously. Therefore, during the process of tightening the bottle cap 100, the bottle cap 100 and the bottle body 200 can move along the running direction of the horizontal linear module 32.

[0058] With such arrangement, the vertical linear module 33 can drive the power module 34 to move up and down, the power module 34 can drive the bottle cap 100 to rotate, and the horizontal linear module 32 can move synchronously with the bottle conveying device 2 during the process of screwing the cap, thereby avoiding the pause caused by screwing the bottle cap 100 and improving the work efficiency during the capping process.

[0059] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the base 31 further features a stable and flexible structural design, specifically including two opposing mounting posts 311. These posts not only provide stable support for the entire capping device 3 but also facilitate installation and commissioning. The horizontal linear module 32 is securely mounted between the two mounting posts 311 via a precise connection, ensuring stability and accuracy during operation. This design enables the horizontal linear module 32 to smoothly drive the vertical linear module 33 and subsequent components in lateral movement, thereby achieving precise synchronization with the bottle conveying device 2.

[0060] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottle cap clamping unit 35 is ingeniously designed and includes at least one clamping structure 351 to ensure a secure grip on the bottle cap 100. Each clamping structure 351 includes at least three clamping jaws 3511, which are evenly distributed circumferentially around the central axis of the output end 341 and disposed at the ends of the output end 341. Through a precise mechanical transmission mechanism, the clamping jaws 3511 can be synchronously moved toward or away from the central axis, achieving flexible grip and release of the bottle cap 100. This design not only ensures grip stability but also improves the positioning accuracy of the bottle cap 100 during the screwing process, thereby ensuring efficient and accurate capping operations.

[0061] It should be noted that, in the present invention, after at least three of the clamping jaws 3511 clamp the bottle cap 100 and align it to the opening at the upper end of the corresponding bottle body 200, the output end 341 can be driven to pivot around the central axis, thereby being tightened on the bottle body 200.

[0062] Furthermore, at least three clamping jaws 3511 are arranged around the circumference of the output end 341 at equal or unequal angles. This layout not only ensures the balanced distribution of the clamping force, but also improves the adaptability and compatibility with the bottle cap 100, so that the clamping unit can stably and reliably clamp bottle caps of different sizes and shapes.

[0063] Further, refer to Figure 4-5 As shown, the bottle positioning unit 36 ​​is cleverly designed to ensure precise positioning of the bottle 200 during the capping process. It primarily comprises a linear guide 361 vertically positioned on the vertical linear module 33, providing stable guidance for the slider 364. A handwheel 362 is connected to a screw 363, which is driven vertically by rotating the handwheel 362. The screw 363 extends through the slider 364 and is threadedly connected to it, enabling precise raising and lowering of the slider 364 on the linear guide 361.

[0064] The mounting plate 365 is horizontally positioned and connected to the slide 364, oriented perpendicularly to the direction of travel of the transverse linear module 32. This ensures that the positioning structures 367 accurately align with the bottle 200. Each positioning structure 367 corresponds to a clamping structure 351 located on the lower end surface of the mounting plate 365. The positioning structures 367 securely position the bottle 200 in a predetermined position, ensuring reliable sealing of the bottle cap 100 held by the clamping structure 351. This design not only improves positioning accuracy and stability, but also makes the entire bottle positioning unit 36 ​​compact and easy to operate.

[0065] The positioning structure 367 is simple and efficient, primarily consisting of two positioning members 3671 positioned opposite each other perpendicular to the direction of travel of the transverse linear module 32, and a wide cylinder 3672. The wide cylinder 3672 is securely attached to the lower surface of the mounting plate 365, providing a stable power source for the movement of the positioning members 3671. The two positioning members 3671 are connected to either end of the wide cylinder 3672. The telescopic movement of the cylinder allows for precise control of the distance between the positioning members 3671, thereby accommodating the positioning requirements of bottles 200 of varying sizes.

[0066] This design not only improves the flexibility and accuracy of positioning, but also enables the positioning structure 367 to quickly respond to changes in the production line.

[0067] Through the cooperation of the hand wheel 362 and the lead screw 363, the height of the mounting plate 365 can be quickly adjusted, so that the downtime caused by the height of the bottle body can be shortened, and the overall production efficiency is further improved. At the same time, the selection of the wide air cylinder 3672 also ensures the stability and reliability during positioning, and provides a strong guarantee for the smooth operation of the capping operation.

[0068] Further, the positioning member 3671 comprises a limiting plate 36711, which ensures the stability of the positioning member 3671 in the horizontal direction. The limiting plate 36711 is provided with a positioning plate 36722, which extends towards the other positioning member 3671 opposite to it, and is ingeniously designed with a limiting groove 36723 opening towards the other positioning member 3671. This design enables the two positioning members 3671 to cooperate with each other, accurately position and clamp the bottle body 200 through the limiting groove 36723, which not only ensures the accuracy of positioning, but also improves the convenience of capping operation.

[0069] Further, returning to the best display of Figure 1 The capping equipment is also provided with a solid support box body 4. The support box body 4 not only provides a stable mounting platform for the capping device 3, ensuring its stability during operation, but also at least partially sets the bottle cap feeding device 1 and the bottle body conveying device 2 on the upper end surface of the support box body 4. Such a design not only optimizes the spatial layout of the equipment, making the connection between the components more closely, but also facilitates the maintenance and management of the equipment, improves the space utilization rate of the production site, and provides a solid support for efficient and orderly capping operation.

[0070] In summary, the embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects:

[0071] The vertical linear module 33 is responsible for driving the power module 34 to move up and down, and the power module 34 is responsible for driving the bottle cap 100 to rotate. At the same time, the horizontal linear module 32 can realize synchronous motion with the bottle body conveying device 2, without stopping during the capping process, thereby effectively eliminating the production stop caused by the rotation of the bottle cap 100, and significantly improving the working efficiency of the capping operation.
