Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bottle cap production technology, and in particular relates to a cap flipping machine. Background Technology

[0002] Many bottle caps (such as soy sauce caps) consist of a sleeve cap and a flip cap hinged to the sleeve cap. Specifically, the sleeve cap is fixed to the mouth of the soy sauce bottle, and the flip cap is used to seal the sleeve cap. During production, one step requires the flip cap to be closed onto the sleeve cap. Although the action is simple, when a large number of soy sauce caps are produced, workers need to repeat the same action, which can easily lead to worker fatigue. Furthermore, closing the flip cap onto the sleeve cap requires force to press the flip cap tightly onto the sleeve cap. Repeating the above actions multiple times results in high labor intensity. Moreover, manual operation can only be performed on one bottle cap at a time, resulting in low assembly efficiency. When a large number of bottle caps are produced, a large number of assembly personnel are needed, leading to increased labor costs. In addition, if the force is not sufficient when manually closing the flip cap onto the sleeve cap, the cap may not be sealed tightly, affecting the assembly effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] (I) Purpose of the utility model

[0004] In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cap flipping machine to solve the technical problems of low bottle cap assembly efficiency, high labor costs, and unstable assembly results.

[0005] (2) Technical solution

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided in this application is as follows:

[0007] A cap flipping machine includes: a carrying plate; multiple limiting components arranged side by side on the carrying plate for simultaneously fixing multiple caps; a flipping mechanism movably disposed below the carrying plate for moving upward after multiple caps are fixed, thereby flipping a cap hinged to the caps onto the caps; and a pressing and transferring mechanism movably disposed above the carrying plate, capable of moving above the caps and downward to close the caps onto the caps when the caps are flipped onto the caps. The pressing and transferring mechanism also simultaneously picks up multiple caps and transfers them outward after the caps are closed onto the caps.

[0008] This application employs multiple mechanisms that work together. First, a human or robotic arm places and secures multiple bottle cap sleeves onto a limiting component. Once the sleeves are secured, a flipping mechanism is positioned directly beneath the flipped cap. The flipping mechanism then moves upward, flipping the cap above the sleeve. Finally, a pressing and transferring mechanism moves above the flipped cap and moves downward to press the cap onto the sleeve. The capped bottle is then transferred outward. The entire process is fully mechanized, with multiple caps being closed in a single mechanical action, resulting in high assembly efficiency. Furthermore, once the mechanical travel is adjusted, each flipping and pressing action ensures proper closure, guaranteeing optimal assembly results.

[0009] In some embodiments, the device further includes a transfer mechanism rotatably disposed on one side of the carrier plate for receiving bottle caps transferred by the pressing and transferring mechanism and transferring them outward.

[0010] In some embodiments, the limiting component includes: a limiting seat that matches the internal shape of the cover and a limiting plate disposed on one side of the limiting seat, wherein the limiting plate has a limiting groove on its side that matches the shape of the outer wall of the cover for engaging the cover.

[0011] In some embodiments, the carrier plate has multiple rows of protruding holes, and the flipping mechanism includes: a first movable plate, multiple movable rods arranged side by side on the first movable plate, each corresponding to a protruding hole, and a mechanism connected to the first movable plate for driving the first movable plate to move upward so that the movable rods extend out of the protruding holes and drive the flip cover to flip up above the cover.

[0012] In some embodiments, the pressing and transferring mechanism includes: a fixed frame and a second movable plate that can be movably disposed on the fixed frame, wherein a plurality of suction nozzles are arranged side by side on the second movable plate, which can move downward on the second movable plate to close the flip cap onto the sleeve cap and suck up the bottle cap.

[0013] In some embodiments, the nozzle is fitted with a resilient cushioning element that contacts the flip cover;

[0014] The cushioning component prevents the nozzle from directly contacting the flip cover, which could damage or scratch the cover and ensure product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, descriptions of known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the concepts of the present invention.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a flip-top machine, comprising: a carrier plate 1; multiple limiting components 6 arranged side by side on the carrier plate 1 for simultaneously fixing multiple caps 401; a flipping mechanism 2 movably disposed below the carrier plate 1 for moving upward after the multiple caps 401 are fixed, thereby flipping a flip cap 402 hinged to the cap 401 above the cap 401; and a pressing and transferring mechanism 3 movably disposed above the carrier plate 1, which can move above the flip cap 402 and downward to close the flip cap 402 onto the cap 401 when the flip cap 402 is flipped onto the cap 401. The pressing and transferring mechanism 3 also simultaneously picks up multiple bottle caps 4 and transfers them outward after the flip cap 402 is closed onto the cap 401.

[0027] Specifically, the flip-top machine of this application can flip and assemble various condiment bottle caps or beverage bottle caps, as long as the bottle cap has a cover 401 and a flip-top 402.

[0028] Specifically, this application provides a transmission mechanism 5 on one side of the carrier plate 1. The transmission mechanism 5 can be a transmission belt, which is driven to rotate by the transmission belt pulley. After the bottle caps 4 are assembled, the pressing and transferring mechanism 3 drives multiple bottle caps 4 to be placed on the transmission mechanism 5 at the same time. The transmission mechanism 5 then transfers the bottle caps 4 to the receiving box.

[0029] Please see Figure 5 Specifically, the limiting component 6 includes a limiting seat 601 and a limiting plate 602 disposed on one side of the limiting seat 601. The shape of the limiting seat 601 matches the internal structure of the cover 401, allowing the cover 401 to be fitted onto it. The limiting plate 602 has multiple limiting grooves on its side, which match the shape of the outer wall of the cover 401. When the cover 401 is placed into the limiting groove, it is fixed by the limiting groove.

[0030] Specifically, the carrier plate 1 has multiple rows of protruding holes 101. After the cover 401 is fixed, the flip cover 402 is located just above the protruding holes 101.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 Specifically, the flipping mechanism 2 includes: a first movable plate 202, and multiple movable rods 203 arranged side by side on the first movable plate 202. Each movable rod 203 is correspondingly arranged with an extension hole 101. The first movable plate 202 is connected to a first cylinder 201. When the first cylinder 201 is started, it can drive the first movable plate 202 to move upward, so that the movable rods 203 can pass through the extension holes 101. Since the flip cap 402 of the bottle cap 4 is hinged to the cover 401 and has corresponding stress, when the flip cap 402 is driven by the movable rods 203 to flip over a certain angle, it can automatically flip over to the top of the cover 401.

[0032] Please see Figure 7 Specifically, the pressing and transferring mechanism 3 includes: a fixed frame 301 and a second movable plate 302 that can be movably mounted on the fixed frame 301. A second cylinder 304 is mounted on the fixed frame 301. The driving end of the second cylinder 304 is connected to the second movable plate 302. Specifically, multiple suction nozzles 303 are arranged side by side on the second movable plate 302. Each suction nozzle 303 corresponds to a bottle cap 4. When the second cylinder 304 is activated, it can drive the second movable plate 302 to move downward, so that the multiple suction nozzles 303 and the flip caps 402 of the multiple bottle caps 4 contact each other and press the flip caps 402 onto the cap 401.

[0033] Specifically, the lower end of the fixed frame 301 is slidably mounted on the machine base via the guide rail 8 and the slider. The machine base is equipped with a transmission belt 7, which is connected to the fixed frame 301. When the transmission belt 7 rotates, it can drive the entire pressing and transferring mechanism 3 to the position of the transmission mechanism 5, and place the assembled bottle cap 4 on the transmission mechanism 5 for output.

[0034] Specifically, the gas generator is connected to multiple suction nozzles 303 through pipes. When the gas generator is started, it can evacuate the inside of the suction nozzles 303, so that negative pressure is generated inside the suction nozzles 303 to adsorb the bottle cap 4.

[0035] Preferably, this application provides a hollow buffer component that is fitted onto the suction nozzle 303. Specifically, the buffer component can be made of soft rubber. After the suction nozzle 303 moves downward, it contacts the flip cover 402 and presses the flip cover 402 onto the cover 401.

[0036] It should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments of the present invention are merely illustrative of or explanation of the principles of the present invention and do not constitute limitations of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the appended claims of the present invention are intended to cover all variations and modifications that fall within the scope and metes and bounds of the appended claims, or equivalents thereof.
