[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 A fully automatic vial capping machine with feeding and discharging functions includes: a conveyor belt 1, with multiple positioning seats 2 on the outer wall of the conveyor belt 1, and vials 3 placed inside the multiple positioning seats 2; and a capping assembly, which includes: a mounting frame 4, a transverse movable component, a vertical movable component, two side clamping components, and a storage component. The mounting frame 4 is installed between the two outer walls of the conveyor belt 1. The transverse movable component includes: a cylinder frame 5, a push cylinder 6, and a sliding frame 7. The cylinder frame 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting frame 4. The push cylinder 6 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the cylinder frame 5. The sliding frame 7 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the mounting frame 4. One side of the outer wall of the sliding frame 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the push cylinder 6. The vertical movable component is located on the bottom surface of the sliding frame 7. The two side clamping components are located on the bottom surface of the vertical movable component. The storage component is located on the bottom surface of the mounting frame 4.

[0026] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, an existing robotic arm places vials 3 sequentially into positioning seats 2 on conveyor belt 1. Then, a push cylinder 6 moves a sliding frame 7, followed by a working cylinder 6 moving a concave frame 9 downwards. A motor then rotates a threaded rod 13, causing the movable plate 14 and clamping plate 15 to move and clamp the top of the vial 3. The working cylinder 6 then moves back, and the vial 3 remains stationary due to frictional resistance from the positioning seat 2, while the cap is lifted by the clamping plate 15. The push cylinder 6 then pushes back, placing the removed cap into a storage box 18. After the cap is removed, the vial 3 continues to move along conveyor belt 1 and is removed by the existing robotic arm at the other end. The overall structure is simple, facilitating installation and maintenance. It also has high cap removal efficiency, and the removed caps are relatively intact, making it easy to count.

[0027] Specifically, the moving parts include: a working cylinder 8 and a concave frame 9. The working cylinder 8 is installed at the output end of the sliding frame 7, and the concave frame 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the working cylinder 8.

[0028] In this embodiment, the working cylinder 8 drives the concave frame 9 to move up and down, thereby completing the overall cap removal operation.

[0029] Specifically, both side clamping components include: a protective frame 11, a limiting rod 12, a threaded rod 13, a movable plate 14, a clamping frame 15, and a mating groove 16. The protective frame 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the concave frame 9. The threaded rod 13 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective frame 11. The movable plate 14 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 13 via a thread. The limiting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective frame 11 and movably passes through the movable plate 14. The clamping frame 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 14. The mating groove 16 is opened on the top surface of the clamping frame 15. A motor is installed on one outer wall of the protective frame 11, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 13.

[0030] In this embodiment, a limiting rod 12 and a threaded rod 13 are provided by the protective frame 11. The threaded rod 13 drives the movable plate 14 to move, and the limiting rod 12 restricts the movable plate 14 to prevent it from rotating. The clamping frame 15 performs clamping and cap removal operations on the bottle cap, and the mating groove 16 is used to mate with the bottle cap.

[0031] Specifically, the storage components include: a placement rack 17 and a storage box 18. The placement rack 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting frame 4, and the storage box 18 is disposed on the top surface of the placement rack 17.

[0032] In this embodiment, a storage box 18 is placed on a shelf 17, and the storage box 18 is used to hold and place the peeled bottle caps.

[0033] Specifically, side fixing brackets 10 are fixedly connected between the two outer walls of the protective frame 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, the side fixing bracket 10 improves the fixing effect of the protective frame.

[0035] Specifically, two limiting plates are provided on one side of the outer wall of the placement rack 17.

[0036] In this embodiment, the placement of the storage box 18 is restricted by a limiting piece to prevent it from being misplaced.

[0037] Working principle: The existing robotic arm places vials 3 into positioning seats 2 on conveyor belt 1. Then, the push cylinder 6 drives the sliding frame 7 to move. The working cylinder 6 then drives the concave frame 9 to move down. The motor drives the threaded rod 13 to rotate, causing the movable plate 14 and the clamping plate 15 to move and clamp the top of the vial 3. After that, the working cylinder 6 moves back. Under the frictional resistance of the positioning seat 2, the main body of the vial 3 will not move, while the cap is lifted by the clamping plate 15. Then, the push cylinder 6 pushes back, placing the removed cap into the storage box 18. After the cap is removed, the vial 3 will continue to move along the conveyor belt 1 and move to the other end to be removed by the existing robotic arm. The overall structure is simple, which is conducive to installation and maintenance. At the same time, the cap removal efficiency is high, and the removed caps are relatively intact, which is conducive to counting.

[0038] The control method of this utility model is to control the device by manually starting and stopping the switch. The wiring diagram of the power element and the supply of power are common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and wiring layout will not be explained in detail.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model based on the technical solution and its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
