Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cap sorting machine technology, and more specifically to a cap sorting machine for bottle caps. Background Technology

[0002] Bottle caps are components used to seal bottles, typically made of plastic, metal, or other materials. Their main function is to protect the contents from external environmental influences, maintaining product quality and freshness. Existing bottle caps include screw caps, compression caps, pull-tab caps, tamper-evident caps, etc., among which pull-tab caps are a common packaging form, commonly used for beverages, condiments, and other liquid products. These caps are designed with a pull tab, allowing users to easily open the cap and use the product. During the production process, pull-tab caps require a cap sorting machine to facilitate processing.

[0003] For example, in a bottle cap sorting machine with prior art disclosure number CN209127540U, the setting of the limiting plate of this utility model ensures that the axis of the bottle cap between the two sets of limiting plates is located on the same plane, so that the sealing gasket can be accurately placed into the bottle cap under the drive of the lifting device, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the bottle cap.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned existing technology still has the following problems when in use: Although the use of the cover plate can make the bottle cap enter the two limiting plates stably, when a large number of bottle caps are stacked together, they will move directly to the cover plate. As the number of bottle caps increases, some bottle caps will not only fall off the cover plate, but also move from the cover plate to the two limiting plates, causing blockage and affecting the operation of the device. Based on this, the present invention provides a bottle cap sorting machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a bottle cap sorting machine. The machine first flattens the pull-ring bottle caps stacked on the first belt conveyor by the second belt conveyor to avoid blockage and ensure the normal operation of the device. Then, the two limiting plates can be used to arrange multiple pull-ring bottle caps into a straight line for transportation, which facilitates subsequent handling and processing, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bottle cap sorting machine, comprising a frame, with a belt conveyor for transporting pull-ring bottle caps fixed at the top of the frame. The top of the belt conveyor is provided with a first sorting assembly and a second sorting assembly distributed front and rear. The first sorting assembly includes two limiting plates, both located at the top of the belt conveyor. The cross-section of each limiting plate is trapezoidal, forming a sorting groove for the pull-ring bottle caps to flow between the two limiting plates. An adjusting assembly is provided between the two limiting plates. The second sorting assembly includes a mounting frame sleeved on the outside of the frame. A second belt conveyor for flattening pull-ring bottle caps is fixed at the bottom of the mounting frame, and the second belt conveyor is positioned above the first belt conveyor.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, electric push rods are fixedly provided on both sides of the bottom end of the mounting frame. The electric push rods are fixed to the frame, and the height of the belt conveyor can be adjusted by means of the electric push rods, so as to accommodate pull ring bottle caps of different sizes.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting component includes a slide rail fixed to the top of the frame and located in front of the mounting bracket. The slide rail is internally equipped with a bidirectional lead screw, on which two nut blocks are threadedly connected. The bottom of the two nut blocks is fixed to the top of two limiting plates, respectively, to facilitate adjustment of the width of the cap groove between the two limiting plates, thereby accommodating pull-ring bottle caps of different diameters.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a motor is fixedly embedded on one side of the slide rail, and one end of the motor output shaft passes through the slide rail and is fixed to one end of the bidirectional lead screw. The motor drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, eliminating the need for manual operation and making it more convenient to use.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a bracket is fixedly provided on the front top of the mounting frame, and gooseneck tubes are fixedly provided at the bottom of the bracket and the rear end of the mounting frame. There are two gooseneck tubes at the bottom of the bracket, and a camera for monitoring is fixedly provided at one end of each gooseneck tube to facilitate real-time capture of the device's image and facilitate monitoring by staff.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a control panel for controlling belt conveyor one, belt conveyor two, electric push rod, motor and camera is fixedly provided on one side of the frame for realizing intelligent control of the device.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, side plates are fixedly provided on both sides of the top of the frame.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a bottle cap sorting machine, including a frame 1. A belt conveyor 2 for transporting pull-ring bottle caps is fixed at the top of the frame 1. A bottle cap sorting assembly 3 and a bottle cap sorting assembly 4 are distributed front and back at the top of the belt conveyor 2. The bottle cap sorting assembly 3 includes two limiting plates 301, both of which are located at the top of the belt conveyor 2. The cross-section of the two limiting plates 301 is trapezoidal, and a bottle cap sorting groove 302 for the pull-ring bottle caps to flow is formed between the two limiting plates 301. The bottle cap sorting assembly 4 includes a mounting frame 401 sleeved on the outside of the frame 1. A belt conveyor 402 for flattening pull-ring bottle caps is fixed at the bottom of the mounting frame 401. The belt conveyor 402 is located above the belt conveyor 2.

[0028] The frame 1 is fixedly equipped with a control panel 9 for controlling the belt conveyor 2, the belt conveyor 402, the electric push rod 403, the motor 504, and the camera 8.

[0029] In use, belt conveyor 2 transports a large number of pull-tab bottle caps to the bottom of belt conveyor 402. When the stacked pull-tab bottle caps come into contact with belt conveyor 402, the conveyor belt on belt conveyor 402 rotates counterclockwise, so the pull-tab bottle caps can be driven backward by belt conveyor 402, so that the stacked pull-tab bottle caps on belt conveyor 2 are flattened. After being limited by two limiting plates 301, the flattened pull-tab bottle caps pass through the cap groove 302 between the two limiting plates 301 one after another, so that multiple pull-tab bottle caps are arranged in a straight line for transportation, avoiding a large number of pull-tab bottle caps being stacked together, which would be inconvenient for subsequent handling and processing.

[0030] Furthermore, electric push rods 403 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom end of the mounting frame 401. The electric push rods 403 are fixed to the frame 1. The height of the belt conveyor 402 can be adjusted by means of the electric push rods 403, so as to be suitable for pull ring bottle caps of different sizes.

[0031] An adjustment assembly 5 is provided between the two limiting plates 301. The adjustment assembly 5 includes a slide rail 501, which is fixed to the top of the frame 1 and located in front of the mounting bracket 401. A bidirectional lead screw 502 is rotatably provided inside the slide rail 501. Specifically, the bidirectional lead screw 502 has two threads with different directions of rotation on a single lead screw, namely a right-hand thread and a left-hand thread. Two nut blocks 503 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 502. The two nut blocks 503 are threadedly connected to the left-hand thread and the right-hand thread, respectively. When the bidirectional lead screw 502 rotates, the two nut blocks 503 approach or separate. The bottom of the two nut blocks 503 is fixed to the top of the two limiting plates 301, which facilitates the adjustment of the width of the cap groove 302 between the two limiting plates 301, thereby accommodating pull ring bottle caps of different diameters.

[0032] A motor 504 is fixedly embedded on one side of the slide rail 501. One end of the output shaft of the motor 504 passes through the slide rail 501 and is fixed to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 502. The motor 504 drives the bidirectional lead screw 502 to rotate, eliminating the need for manual operation and making it more convenient to use.

[0033] Side plates 10 are fixed on both sides of the top of the frame 1. The two side plates 10 are respectively located between the mounting frame 401 and the belt conveyor 402. The side plates 10 can play a protective role to prevent the stacked pull-ring bottle caps from falling off the frame 1.

[0034] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 The mounting bracket 401 is fixedly provided with a support 6 on the top front side. The bottom of the support 6 and the rear end of the mounting bracket 401 are both fixedly provided with gooseneck tubes 7. There are two gooseneck tubes 7 at the bottom of the support 6. Each gooseneck tube 7 is fixedly provided with a camera 8 at one end for monitoring purposes, so as to capture the image of the device in real time and facilitate the monitoring by staff.

[0035] By setting three cameras 8 on the mounting frame 401, the three cameras 8 respectively capture the scene in front of the slide rail 501, the scene between the slide rail 501 and the mounting frame 401, and the scene below the belt conveyor 402. The staff can check the status of the pull-ring bottle caps being sorted in real time through the scene captured by the cameras 8, ensuring the normal operation of the device. Furthermore, the shooting angle of the cameras 8 can be adjusted by adjusting the gooseneck tube 7.

[0036] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
