Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage production technology, specifically a high-efficiency and simple beverage bottle cap mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the factory produces a variety of beverages. After the beverages are filled, the bottle caps usually need to be sealed. The factory currently has one capping machine, but the capping machine lacks a capping mechanism, so manual capping and pressing are required. As production and sales increase, multiple operators are needed to assist in capping during batch production, which increases labor costs and reduces manual efficiency. Currently, fully automatic capping equipment on the market is too expensive, resulting in high operating costs. In order to improve production efficiency and save costs, a high-efficiency and simple capping mechanism has been invented. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned existing technical problems and provide a high-efficiency and simple beverage bottle cap mechanism.

[0004] The specific solution of this utility model is as follows: a high-efficiency and simple beverage bottle capping mechanism, including a conveyor belt, a mounting frame installed on the conveyor belt, a capping mechanism installed in the middle of the mounting frame, the capping mechanism including a lower cap tube, an adjusting rod installed at the top of the middle of the lower cap tube, the top of the adjusting rod passing through the mounting frame and slidably connected, a bolt threadedly connected to the top surface of the mounting frame, one end of the bolt contacting the adjusting rod, the lower cap tube being hollow inside and having a discharge port on its surface, several rollers being evenly rotated inside the lower cap tube, the distance between the top of the inner side of the lower cap tube and the rollers being one bottle cap height, one end of the discharge port facing downwards making the lower cap tube inclined, a limiting mechanism installed on the surface of the discharge port, the limiting mechanism including limiting plates located on both sides of the discharge port, the limiting plates having movable holes on their surfaces. A guide rod a passes through the movable hole and is movably connected. One end of the guide rod a is fixedly connected to the lower cap tube. A spring a is fitted on the surface of the guide rod a and is located outside the limiting plate. The guide rod a has a T-shaped structure, which prevents the spring a from falling off the surface of the guide rod a. Movable blocks are installed at both ends of the lower cap tube. The other end of the movable block passes through the limiting plate and is movably connected. The limiting mechanism has two sets and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the discharge port. One end of the two limiting plates extends towards the discharge port. The distance between the ends of the two limiting plates is less than the diameter of the bottle cap. A guide mechanism is installed at the top of the lower cap tube. A feeding structure is installed at one end of the lower cap tube. The feeding structure includes a feeding port and is connected to the lower cap tube. A storage cylinder is internally threaded to the feeding port. The inside of the storage cylinder is used to hold the bottle cap.

[0005] According to the above technical solution, the bottle caps are stored in the storage cylinder and enter the bottle cap through the inlet. Then, they are moved downward to the outlet by the roller inside the lower cap tube. Half of the bottle cap moves out of the outlet and is limited by the limiting plate, while the other half is inside the lower cap tube. When the bottle body on the bottom conveyor belt fits the bottle cap opening, the bottle cap can be removed to complete the capping work, which greatly improves the work efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, the guiding mechanism includes a guide plate, one end of which is hinged to the lower cap tube, and the other end of which extends toward the discharge port and is parallel to the conveyor belt. When the bottle cap moves out of the discharge port, its top end contacts the guide plate. A guide rod b is installed at the top end of the lower cap tube. The top end of the guide rod b passes through the guide plate and is slidably connected. A spring b is fitted on the surface of the guide rod b. The spring b is located on the top side of the guide plate b. The guide rod b has a T-shaped structure, which prevents the spring b from falling off the surface of the guide rod a.

[0007] According to the above technical solution, the guide plate pushes the bottle cap upward after it is moved out, and at the same time, the flat surface of one end of the guide plate makes the bottle cap firmly cover the bottle body, thereby achieving the effect of guiding and straightening the bottle cap.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeding structure is provided in three sets, and a baffle structure is installed on the surface of the lower cover tube. The baffle structure includes a limiting port a, which is located on one side of the surface of the lower cover tube. A limiting port b is provided on the inner side of the lower cover tube and is parallel to the limiting port a. A pin is movably connected inside the limiting port a, and the other end of the pin is movably connected to the limiting port b. The pin is located directly below the feeding port, thereby blocking the bottle cap inside the storage cylinder. The baffle mechanism is provided in three sets so that it can be used in conjunction with the three sets of feeding structures.

[0009] According to the above technical solution, the work efficiency is improved by using multiple feeding structures, and the sealing structure can seal the corresponding feeding structure, improving ease of use. It is applicable to bottle caps of the same size for storing different beverages.

[0010] Furthermore, the surface of the storage cylinder is provided with an observation port, which is hollowed out and communicates with the internal cavity of the storage cylinder.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, the bottle cap inside the storage cylinder can be observed through the observation port, and the remaining cap structures can be replaced and opened in a timely manner after use.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting frame has scale lines on its surface, the mounting frame is gantry-shaped, and a marker rod is fixedly installed on the surface of the guide plate. The marker rod is parallel to the conveyor belt and its other end extends toward the scale lines.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, the convenience of the lifting and lowering mechanism is improved by using scale lines.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: the high-efficiency and simple beverage bottle capping mechanism has a simple manufacturing structure, low operating cost, and can automatically complete the capping work, which is suitable for mass production. It reduces labor costs while improving work efficiency. At the same time, the three sets of storage cylinders and the baffle structure further improve work efficiency. It can also be used to store different beverage caps, and the automatic capping during operation facilitates later use, improving ease of use and production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] See Figure 1-8This embodiment is a high-efficiency, simple beverage bottle capping mechanism. A conveyor belt 1 transports beverage bottles, and a mounting frame 2 is installed on the conveyor belt 1. A capping mechanism is installed in the middle of the mounting frame 2. The capping mechanism includes a lower cap tube 3, with an adjusting rod 4 welded to its top. The top of the adjusting rod 4 passes through the mounting frame 2 and is slidably connected to it. A bolt 5 is threaded onto the top surface of the mounting frame 2, with one end of the bolt 5 contacting the surface of the adjusting rod 4 for fixation. The lower cap tube 3 is hollow inside and has a discharge port 6 on its surface. Several rollers 7 are evenly rotated inside the lower cap tube 3. The distance between the top of the inner side of the lower cap tube 3 and the rollers 7 is one bottle cap height, preventing cap blockage. One end of the discharge port 6 faces downwards, causing the lower cap tube 3 to be inclined. A limiting mechanism is installed on the surface of the discharge port 6, including limiting plates 8 located on both sides of the discharge port 6. The surface of the limiting plates 8 has movable holes 9, through which guide rods a10 pass and are movably connected. One end of the guide rod a10 is fixedly connected to the lower cap tube 3. Next, a spring a11 is fitted onto the surface of the guide rod a10, and the spring a11 is located outside the limiting piece 8, so that the limiting piece 8 can limit the bottle cap to prevent it from falling off on its own. The guide rod a10 has a T-shaped structure, so that the spring a11 will not fall off the surface of the guide rod a10. Movable blocks 12 are installed at both ends of the lower cap tube 3. The other end of the movable block 12 passes through one end of the limiting piece 8 and is movably connected to improve the stability of the limiting piece 8. The limiting mechanism is provided in two sets and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the discharge port 6. One end of the positioning piece 8 faces inward towards the outlet 6. The distance between the ends of the two positioning pieces 8 is less than the diameter of the bottle cap. A guide mechanism is installed at the top of the lower cap tube 3. The guide mechanism is used to straighten the bottle cap. A feeding structure is installed at one end of the lower cap tube 3. The feeding structure includes a feeding port 13 and the feeding port 13 is connected to the lower cap tube 3. A storage cylinder 14 is threaded inside the feeding port 13. The storage cylinder 14 is hollow inside and the cavity diameter is 2mm larger than the bottle cap to avoid the cap jamming. The inside of the storage cylinder 14 is used to place the bottle cap.

[0025] Furthermore, the guiding mechanism includes a guide plate 15, one end of which is hinged to the top of the lower cap tube 3, and the other end of which extends upward toward the discharge port 6 and is parallel to the conveyor belt 1. When the bottle cap moves out of the discharge port 6, its top end contacts the plane of the guide plate 15. A guide rod b16 is installed at the top of the lower cap tube 3. The top end of the guide rod b16 passes through the guide plate 15 and is slidably connected. A spring b17 is fitted on the surface of the guide rod b16. The spring b17 is located on the top side of the guide plate 15b. The guide rod b16 has a T-shaped structure, so that the spring b17 will not fall off the surface of the guide rod b16.

[0026] Furthermore, the feeding structure is provided with three sets to increase the storage space. A baffle structure is installed on the surface of the lower cover tube 3. The baffle structure includes a limiting port a18, which is located on one side of the surface of the lower cover tube 3. A limiting port b19 is provided on the inner side of the lower cover tube 3 and is parallel to one side of the limiting port a18. A pin 20 is movably connected inside the limiting port a18, and the other end of the pin 20 is movably connected to the limiting port b19. The pin 20 is located directly below the feeding port 13, so as to block the bottle cap inside the storage cylinder 14. The baffle mechanism is provided with three sets and is used in conjunction with the three sets of feeding structures.

[0027] Furthermore, the surface of the storage cylinder 14 has a perforated observation port 21, which is perforated and communicates with the internal cavity of the storage cylinder 14 to facilitate observation of the internal bottle cap.

[0028] Furthermore, the mounting frame 2 has scale lines 22 on its surface. The mounting frame 2 is gantry-shaped. A marker rod 23 is fixedly installed on the surface of the guide plate 15. The marker rod 23 is parallel to the conveyor belt 1 and extends to the scale lines 22 at the other end, making it easy to observe the height of the guide plate 15. It can be used according to different bottle heights.

[0029] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In use, first, fill the three storage cylinders 14 with bottle caps, placing them with the bottom of the caps facing down. Then, thread them onto the inlet 13. Simultaneously, insert the pin 20 into the limiting port a18 and the limiting port b19 to seal the inlet 13. Next, move the adjusting rod 4 according to the bottle height, while simultaneously observing the height of the guide plate 15 by pointing one end of the marker rod 23 to the scale line 22. Finally, fix it with bolts 5. In use, pull out the corresponding pin 20. At this time, the bottle caps in the storage cylinder 14 fall onto the roller 7. Because the lower cap tube 3 is inclined, the bottle caps move towards the outlet 6 via the roller 7. When they reach the end of the outlet 6, the bottle caps move outward and are restrained by the limiting plates 8 on both sides. The bottle cap is positioned so that when the bottom bottle moves on the conveyor belt 1 and reaches the bottom of the cap, the top of the bottle contacts the inside of the cap, thus pulling the cap out. When the cap is pulled out, the limiting plates 8 are pushed to both sides, and the limiting plates 8 push the spring a11 to make elastic movements. After the cap is removed, the spring a11 makes elastic movements again, pushing the limiting plates 8 back to their original positions. At the same time, after the cap is removed, the guide plate 15 is pushed upward and moved along the guide plate 15, so that the cap is straightened from being tilted on the bottle by the guide plate 15, thus completing the capping work and greatly improving work efficiency. During operation, the cap inside the storage cylinder 14 can be observed through the observation port 21 to remind the operator to remove the other pin 20. When the storage cylinder 14 is used up, it can be rotated and disassembled to insert the cap again.
