Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filling production equipment technology, and in particular to a double-headed follower cylinder pressure tapping inner plug integrated machine. Background Technology

[0002] Bottle caps are an important part of food and beverage packaging and are the first point of contact between consumers and the product. To ensure the airtightness of the bottle cap, an inner stopper is installed inside the cap. This not only seals the bottle but also makes it easier to open the cap later.

[0003] In existing bottle cap assembly processes, the inner cap plug is usually manually added to the machine tooling. This method requires many operators to work with the machine, which affects efficiency and increases labor costs. At the same time, bottle cap assembly can only be done one-to-one, and continuous operation is not possible, which reduces the production volume of bottle caps. Furthermore, after the bottle cap is pressed, the inner plug may be misaligned or cracked. If defective products are not screened out, material leakage will occur when the bottle cap is installed on the bottle, resulting in economic losses. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the aforementioned technical issues that need to be addressed, a dual-head follower cylinder pressure tapping inner plug integrated machine is provided.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a dual-head follower cylinder pressure-taking inner plug integrated machine, including a frame assembly and a cover assembly disposed on the side of the frame assembly. A horizontally arranged conveying mechanism is installed on the frame assembly. A conveying channel extends from the cover assembly and connects to the conveying mechanism. A drive mechanism is installed behind the conveying mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a height adjustment mechanism installed at the bottom of the frame assembly and a slide rail assembly horizontally arranged at the top of the height adjustment mechanism. An inner plug pressing mechanism is installed in front of the slide rail assembly at the top of the conveying mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, the top of the conveying mechanism is equipped with a first bottle clamping mechanism and a second bottle clamping mechanism arranged along the conveying direction, and the second bottle clamping mechanism is installed on both sides of the conveying mechanism directly in front of the driving mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the slide rail assembly is equipped with two sets of identical internal pressing mechanisms. A partition is provided on the front baffle of the middle section of the slide rail assembly to separate the two sets of internal pressing mechanisms. A main channel connected to the cover assembly is provided at the rear of the slide rail assembly. The main channel is arranged parallel to the conveying mechanism. At least two secondary channels arranged perpendicular to the conveying mechanism are connected to the main channel. The secondary channels pass through the bottom of the slide rail assembly and are respectively located on the left side of the internal pressing mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner plug mechanism includes a bracket mounted on the slide rail assembly, a vertically arranged lifting assembly mounted on the bracket, an inner plug pressure head connected to the bottom of the lifting assembly, and a suction cup provided on the inner plug pressure head.

[0009] Furthermore, a bottle-holding mechanism is connected to the bottom side of the inner plug mechanism away from the secondary channel. The bottle-holding mechanism includes a connecting plate fixed to the right side of the bottom of the support. A dual-axis cylinder is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate and is perpendicular to the conveying direction. A bottle-holding plate is installed at the output end of the dual-axis cylinder. A locking block is installed on the opposite end face of the bottle-holding plate, and the center of the locking block is located directly below the inner plug pressure head.

[0010] Furthermore, the secondary channel is provided with a limit block at the top of the conveying mechanism. The center of the limit block has an arc-shaped groove for placing the inner plug. A cover cylinder is provided on the left side of the limit block, and the cover cylinder's stop is located between the arc-shaped groove and the secondary channel.

[0011] Furthermore, the secondary channel is installed at the same height as the main channel and at a height higher than the conveying mechanism. The main channel and the secondary channel are connected by an arc-shaped curved plate. The secondary channel is installed on a connecting rod below the slide rail assembly. Baffles are installed on the top of the main channel and the secondary channel. Inclined air nozzles are installed at intervals on the baffles. The air blowing direction of the air nozzles is the same as the moving direction of the inner plug.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model discloses a double-headed following cylinder press-in inner plug integrated machine. After the inner plug of the bottle cap is sorted by the cap sorting component, it is transported from the main channel to two secondary channels. When the photoelectric detection switch on the conveying mechanism detects the bottle passing by, the inner plug pressing mechanism moves laterally to adsorb the inner plug on the limiting block and return it to its position. At the same time, the bottle holding mechanism clamps the bottle mouth position, and the inner plug pressing head descends to complete the inner plug pressing action. The double-headed following system improves the inner plug pressing efficiency and ensures the production yield. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] One embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a horizontally arranged conveying mechanism 4 is installed on the frame assembly 1. A conveying channel extends from the cap sorting assembly 2 and connects to the conveying mechanism 4. A driving mechanism 3 is installed behind the conveying mechanism 4. The driving mechanism 3 includes a height adjustment mechanism 31 installed at the bottom of the frame assembly 1 and a slide rail assembly 32 installed horizontally on top of the height adjustment mechanism 31. A pressing inner plug mechanism 5 is installed in front of the slide rail assembly 32 and located on top of the conveying mechanism 4. After the inner plugs of the bottle caps are sorted by the cap sorting assembly, they are conveyed from the main channel to two secondary channels. When the photoelectric detection switch on the conveying mechanism detects the bottle passing by, the pressing inner plug mechanism moves laterally to attract and return the inner plug on the limiting block to its position. At the same time, the bottle holding mechanism holds the bottle mouth position, and the inner plug pressing head descends to complete the pressing inner plug action. The double-head following system improves the pressing inner plug efficiency and ensures the production yield.

[0022] The top of the conveying mechanism 4 is equipped with a first bottle clamping mechanism 41 and a second bottle clamping mechanism 42 arranged along the conveying direction. The second bottle clamping mechanism 42 is installed on both sides of the conveying mechanism 4 directly in front of the drive mechanism 3, and is adapted to accommodate bottles of different sizes so that they can be conveyed smoothly.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, two sets of identical internal pressure plug mechanisms 5 are installed on the slide rail assembly 32. A partition is provided on the front baffle of the middle section of the slide rail assembly 32 to separate the two sets of internal pressure plug mechanisms 5. The conveying channel consists of one main channel and two secondary channels. A main channel 6 connected to the cover assembly 2 is provided at the rear of the slide rail assembly 32. The main channel 6 is parallel to the conveying mechanism 4. At least two secondary channels 7 perpendicular to the conveying mechanism 4 are connected to the main channel 6. The secondary channels 7 pass through the bottom of the slide rail assembly 32 and are respectively located on the left side of the internal pressure plug mechanism 5.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the inner plug pressing mechanism 5 includes a bracket 51 mounted on the slide rail assembly 32. A vertically arranged lifting assembly 52 is mounted on the bracket 51. An inner plug pressing head 53 is connected to the bottom of the lifting assembly 52. ​​A suction cup is provided on the inner plug pressing head 53. The inner plug pressing head is detachable. The inner plug pressing head of the corresponding size can be selected according to the different specifications of the inner plug to improve applicability.

[0025] A bottle-holding mechanism is connected to the bottom side of the inner plug pressing mechanism 5 away from the secondary channel 7. The bottle-holding mechanism includes a connecting plate 54 fixed to the bottom right side of the bracket 51. A dual-axis cylinder 55 perpendicular to the conveying direction is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 54. A bottle-holding plate 56 is installed at the output end of the dual-axis cylinder 55. A locking block 57 is installed on the opposite end face of the bottle-holding plate 56. The center of the locking block 57 is located directly below the inner plug pressing head 53. During the inner plug pressing process, the bottle-holding mechanism follows and fixes the bottle body to prevent the bottle body from shaking and affecting the accuracy of the inner plug pressing.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, a limiting block 71 is provided at the top of the conveying mechanism 4 in the secondary channel 7. The limiting block 71 has an arc-shaped groove in the center for placing the inner plug. A cover cylinder 72 is provided on the left side of the limiting block 71. The stopper of the cover cylinder 72 is located between the arc-shaped groove and the secondary channel 7. The limiting block is installed on the secondary channel. Its specifications can be selected and replaced with an arc-shaped groove limiting block of appropriate size according to the size of the inner plug to meet the requirements. When the inner plug in the secondary channel enters the arc-shaped groove, the stopper of the cover cylinder extends to block the subsequent inner plug, making it convenient for the subsequent inner plug pressure head to be used.

[0027] The secondary channel 7 is installed at the same height as the main channel 6 and is higher than the conveying mechanism 4. The main channel 6 and the secondary channel 7 are connected by an arc-shaped bend plate. The secondary channel 7 is installed on the connecting rod 321 below the slide rail assembly 32. The overall height of the conveying channel is adjusted by the height adjustment mechanism to adapt to the operation of pressing the inner plug of bottles of different heights. The top of the main channel 6 and the secondary channel 7 are equipped with baffles. The baffles are equipped with inclined air nozzles at intervals. The air blowing direction of the air nozzles is the same as the movement direction of the inner plug to ensure smooth movement of the inner plug and avoid concentrated blockage in the conveying channel, which would affect the efficiency of removing the inner plug.

[0028] The working principle of this embodiment: After being sorted by the cap sorting assembly, the inner plug of the bottle cap is conveyed from the main channel to two secondary channels, such as... Figure 3 As shown, a photoelectric detection switch is installed on the top of the conveying mechanism between the inner plug pressing mechanism and the limiting block. When the photoelectric detection switch detects the bottle passing by, the inner plug pressing mechanism moves to the side to attract the inner plug on the limiting block and return it to its original position. At the same time, the bottle holding mechanism holds the bottle mouth position, and the inner plug pressing head descends to complete the inner plug pressing action.

[0029] Several points need to be clarified: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can refer to mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.

Second, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one entity from another entity, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0030] The above examples are merely illustrative of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All designs that are the same as or similar to this utility model are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
