Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation technology, and in particular to an automatic cap pressing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the packaging and sealing industry for loading containers, the sealing methods for containers and caps typically include two types: rotational fastening and pressure sealing. The structural designs of the containers and caps differ between these two methods. For pressure sealing, the cap and the top of the container usually have a snap-fit ​​structure or a clearance fit. During installation, external force is used to press and secure the two together, thus achieving a seal. The tightness of the seal directly affects whether the contents of the container will be contaminated or even deteriorate by external substances, making it the most crucial aspect of this type of container packaging.

[0003] However, in the current market, containers and caps are still sealed manually by pressing them together. This has revealed the following problems in actual production:

[0004] 1. Due to differences in the skill level and clamping force of different staff members, during the actual packaging and sealing process, it is common to encounter situations where the cap and container need to be aligned and aligned multiple times before they can be fastened, or the staff member's clamping force is insufficient, resulting in the container and cap not being completely sealed. There are also cases where the staff member applies uneven clamping force, causing the cap to be fastened on one side while loosening on the other. All of these situations will greatly affect work efficiency and may even directly affect the sealing of the container, resulting in cost losses.

[0005] Second, the manual pressing method involves manually pressing the cap to tighten it. Although this method is simple, easy to implement, requires low equipment investment, and has low operator skill requirements, it is inefficient and has high labor costs, making it unsuitable for large-scale production. Utility Model Content

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the dual-axis moving mechanism includes a support frame, a horizontal power source, a horizontal moving plate, a vertical power source, and a vertical moving plate. The support frame is mounted on a support base, the horizontal power source is mounted on the support frame, and the output end of the horizontal power source is connected to the horizontal moving plate.

[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, the horizontal moving plate is provided with a second linear guide rail, and the vertical moving plate is connected with a second slider, the second slider and the second linear guide rail being slidably connected.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, both the horizontal power source and the vertical power source are cylinders.
