[0038] (Example)
[0039] This embodiment is shown below. Figure 1 A fully automatic capping and screwing machine includes a transmission line 1, a star wheel bottle feeding mechanism 2, a main drive mechanism 3, a capping mechanism 4, a capping and screwing mechanism 5, a screwing mechanism 6, and a screwing and screwing mechanism 7.
[0040] The input and output lines of transmission line 1 are respectively set to correspond to the bottle inlet and bottle outlet of star wheel bottle feeding mechanism 2. The capping mechanism 4 presses the cap provided by capping and cap supply mechanism 5 onto the bottle mouth, and the capping mechanism 6 screws the cap provided by capping and cap supply mechanism 7 onto the bottle mouth. The main drive mechanism 3 drives star wheel bottle feeding mechanism 2 to operate synchronously with capping mechanism 4 and capping mechanism 6.
[0041] See Figure 2The star wheel bottle feeding mechanism 2 includes a bottle feeding star wheel 21, a capping star wheel 22, a transition star wheel 23, a capping star wheel 24, and a bottle discharging star wheel 25 arranged tangentially in sequence. The capping mechanism 4 operates synchronously with the capping star wheel 22, and the capping mechanism 6 operates synchronously with the bottle discharging star wheel 25. A bottle feeding twist assembly is provided at the input end of the conveyor line 1. This assembly separates closely spaced containers before feeding them to the bottle feeding star wheel 21. A bottle-blocking component 26 is fixed to the star wheel bottle feeding mechanism 2, and the bottle-blocking component 26 is semi-circularly positioned above the star wheel bottle feeding mechanism 2. Both the capping and cap feeding mechanisms 5 and 7 use existing cap feeding mechanisms (such as vibratory feeders). The bottle-blocking component effectively prevents bottles from tipping over during the transfer, capping, and capping processes.
[0042] A capping head star wheel 27 is coaxially fixed above the bottle inlet star wheel 21, and the conveying track of the capping and cap supply mechanism 5 is connected to the capping head star wheel 27; a screw capping head star wheel 28 is coaxially fixed above the bottle outlet star wheel 25, and the conveying track of the screw capping and cap supply mechanism 7 is connected to the screw capping head star wheel 28.
[0043] See Figure 3 The main drive mechanism 3 includes a main drive motor 31, a drive gear 32, an inlet star wheel drive gear 33, a capping star wheel drive gear 34, a transition star wheel drive gear 35, a capping star wheel drive gear 36, and an outlet star wheel drive gear 37. The drive gear 32 is fixed to the output shaft of the main drive motor 31. The inlet star wheel drive gear 33, capping star wheel drive gear 34, transition star wheel drive gear 35, capping star wheel drive gear 36, and outlet star wheel drive gear 37 mesh and transmit power, and are respectively coaxially and fixedly connected to the inlet star wheel 21, capping star wheel 22, transition star wheel 23, capping star wheel 24, and outlet star wheel 25. The inlet star wheel drive gear 33, capping star wheel drive gear 34, transition star wheel drive gear 35, capping star wheel drive gear 36, and outlet star wheel drive gear 37 have the same diameter. The main drive mechanism uses a multi-gear meshing method to drive the rotation of each star wheel, resulting in high stability, good synchronization, and convenient maintenance. By designing star-wheel drive gears of the same diameter, the working actions of capping and screwing can be synchronized, the process is stable, and the connection between each link is smoother. Speed can be adjusted with only one main drive motor, which can effectively improve work efficiency.
[0044] See Figure 4The capping star wheel drive gear 34, the capping star wheel 22, and the capping mechanism 4 are coaxially and fixedly connected. The capping mechanism 4 includes multiple liftable capping head components 41, which are correspondingly positioned above the capping star wheel 22. The bottle to be capped completes the capping action synchronously as it rotates with the capping star wheel 22. The capping mechanism 4 is equipped with a capping lifting drive mechanism 8 that controls the overall lifting and lowering of the capping mechanism 4. The coaxial rotation of the capping mechanism and the capping star wheel ensures that the capping step is completed precisely from the time the bottle enters the capping star wheel to the time it exits, resulting in better capping efficiency and success rate, thus improving work efficiency.
[0045] The capping star wheel drive gear 36, the capping star wheel 24, and the capping mechanism 6 are coaxially and fixedly connected. The capping mechanism 6 includes multiple liftable capping head components 61, which are correspondingly positioned above the capping star wheel 24, synchronously capping the bottle as it rotates with the capping star wheel 24. The capping mechanism 6 is equipped with a capping lifting drive mechanism 9 to control the overall lifting of the capping mechanism 6. Both the capping and capping mechanisms are designed with lifting mechanisms to accommodate more bottle sizes, resulting in better adaptability.
[0046] The capping mechanism 4 adopts an existing ring capping mechanism (such as the capping mechanism of a fully automatic capping machine disclosed in patent document CN112810862B), and the capping mechanism 6 adopts an existing rotary capping mechanism (such as the servo rotary capping machine disclosed in patent document CN111634869A).
[0047] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows: Bottles enter from the input end of conveyor line 1, are separated by a bottle-feeding twister, and enter the capping star wheel 22 through the bottle-feeding star wheel 21. The capping mechanism 4 rotates synchronously with the capping star wheel 22 and simultaneously presses the capping head on the capping head star wheel 27 onto the bottle. The capping star wheel 22 transfers the capped bottle to the transition star wheel 23, and the transition star wheel 23 transfers the bottle to the capping star wheel 24. The capping mechanism 6 follows the capping star wheel 24 and synchronously installs the capping head on the capping head star wheel 28 onto the bottle. The capping star wheel 24 transfers the installed bottle to the bottle-out star wheel 25, and the bottle-out star wheel 25 transfers the bottle to the output end of conveyor line 1. This embodiment integrates capping and screw capping into one unit, which can meet the different installation requirements of inner and outer caps. Utilizing the star wheel bottle feeding mechanism, the capping transmission mechanism and the screw capping transmission mechanism are designed to operate synchronously. Compared with similar models on the market, the machine achieves better automation and has advantages such as wide applicability, space saving and convenient maintenance.
[0048] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
