Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pot lid production equipment, and in particular to an automatic processing equipment for metal riveting holes in glass pot lid vents. Background Technology

[0002] Glass pot lids, an indispensable cooking tool in modern kitchens, are popular among consumers for their excellent transparency, high-temperature resistance, and ease of cleaning. They not only preserve the original flavor of food during cooking but also allow users to directly observe the cooking process, greatly enhancing the convenience and enjoyment of cooking. To enhance the practicality and safety of the lids, designers typically incorporate one or more vent holes. These holes are designed to prevent excessive steam pressure generated during boiling from causing the lid to be forced open or even damaged, thus ensuring a safe and stable cooking process.

[0003] However, simply adding vent holes is not enough to fully meet the needs of a pot lid. To prevent the edges of the holes from wearing down or widening due to long-term steam erosion, and to improve the overall durability and aesthetics of the lid, manufacturers typically add a metal ring around these vent holes. This metal ring not only reinforces the hole edges but also effectively prevents food residue from clogging the channels, maintaining the lid's ventilation performance. Currently, this processing step mostly relies on manual operation. Workers need to first remove the lid from the production line, manually transport it to a riveting machine, carefully align the metal ring with the vent holes on the lid, and finally fix the metal ring in place using the riveting machine. While this process is not technically difficult, it is extremely time-consuming and repetitive, greatly limiting the improvement of production efficiency. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0024] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of the pot lid processing equipment, as follows:

[0025] Automatic processing equipment for metal riveting holes in glass pot lids, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the assembly includes a riveting machine 1, a riveting gun 101, a feeding component 103, a fixed base 2, a fixed plate 3, a motor 4, a gear 5, a rotating disk 6, a gear ring 7, a support plate 8, a buffer spring 9, an L-shaped plate 10, a rubber wheel 11, a return spring 12, a mounting bracket 13, a discharge assembly, and a positioning assembly 17. The riveting machine 1 is connected to the riveting gun 101 and the feeding component 103. The riveting gun 101 moves downwards to complete the riveting process. The feeding component 103 automatically feeds rivets and can move upwards to cooperate with the riveting gun 101 to clamp the lid, supporting the lid from the bottom and feeding in the rivets. A fixed base 2 is located in front of the riveting machine 1, and a fixed plate 3 is connected to the side of the fixed base 2. A motor 4 is mounted on the fixed plate 3, with the output shaft of the motor 4 facing upwards and connected to a gear 5. A rotating disk 6 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 2, and a gear ring 7 is connected to the bottom of the rotating disk 6. The gear ring 7 meshes with the gear 5, and the rotating disk 6 slides... Four support plates 8 are connected, corresponding to four working areas. The included angle between two adjacent support plates 8 is 90 degrees. Two buffer springs 9 are sleeved on the rotating disk 6. The top of the buffer springs 9 is fixedly connected to the support plate 8, and the bottom of the buffer springs 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 6. Two L-shaped plates 10 are connected to each support plate 8. The distance between the two L-shaped plates 10 is less than the diameter of the pot lid. Two mounting brackets 13 are slidably connected to each L-shaped plate 10. A return spring 12 is sleeved on the top of the mounting bracket 13. The top of the return spring 12 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate 10, and the bottom of the return spring 12 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 13. A rubber wheel 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket 13. The direction of rotation of the rubber wheel 11 is the same as the direction in which the pot lid is pushed in and out of the support plate 8. A discharge component for pushing out the pot lid is provided on the fixed base 2. A positioning component 17 for positioning the overflow hole of the pot lid is provided on the left side of the fixed base 2.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the discharge assembly includes a conveyor 102, an electric push rod 14, and a push plate 15. The rotary disk 6 has four reserved slots 16, each of which is located on the central axis of the support plate 8. The electric push rod 14 is installed on the fixed base 2, and the push plate 15 is connected to the piston rod of the electric push rod 14. The area of ​​the reserved slot 16 is larger than the area of ​​the push plate 15. The conveyor 102 is located on the right side of the fixed base 2.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the positioning assembly 17 includes a connecting rod 171, a sleeve 172, an elastic element 173, and a positioning rod 174. The fixed base 2 is connected to the connecting rod 171, and the sleeve 172 is connected to the connecting rod. The elastic element 173 is provided inside the sleeve 172, and the positioning rod 174 is slidably connected to the sleeve 172. The top of the positioning rod 174 is spherical, and the positioning rod 174 is slidably connected to the vent hole of the pot lid. The top of the elastic element 173 is connected to the positioning rod 174, and the bottom is connected to the sleeve 172.

[0028] The worker places the punched pot lid onto the support plate 8 and pushes it towards the fixed base 2. At this time, the pot lid contacts the rubber wheel 11. During the movement of the pot lid, the rubber wheel 11 rotates, and the pot lid squeezes the rubber wheel 11 to move upward. The rubber wheel 11 pushes the mounting bracket 13 to slide upward on the L-shaped plate 10, compressing the return spring 12. When the pot lid abuts against the two L-shaped plates 10, the pushing of the pot lid stops. If the positioning rod 174 is successfully inserted into the vent hole of the pot lid at this time, the motor 4 is started. The motor 4 drives the gear ring 7 to rotate through the gear 5, thereby causing the rotating disk 6 to rotate on the fixed base 2, conveying the pot lid towards the riveting machine 1. If the positioning rod 174 fails to be successfully inserted into the vent hole of the pot lid, the worker needs to adjust the position of the pot lid and rotate it. The lid is opened until the positioning rod 174 can be smoothly inserted. At this time, the elastic element 173 rebounds, lifting the positioning rod 174. The positioning rod 174 slides in the sleeve 172. Then, the motor 4 is turned on. When the lid rotates with the rotating disk 6, the lid squeezes the positioning rod 174, causing the positioning rod 174 to move downward and compress the elastic element 173, causing the positioning rod 174 to disengage from the vent hole. When the rotating disk 6 rotates 90 degrees, the motor 4 stops rotating. Then, the riveting machine 1 is started. The feeding element 103 feeds the rivet and moves upward at the same time. The riveting gun 101 moves downward and the rivet passes through the vent hole. Through the riveting force and the feeding element 103, the riveting work of the vent hole of the lid is completed. Due to the different thickness of the lid, the height of the vent hole will also be different. Therefore, the support plate 8 will slide on the rotating disk 6 and compress the buffer spring 9 to accommodate pot lids of different thicknesses. Then the riveting gun 101 and the feeding part 103 will reset. After the motor 4 starts, the rotating disk 6 will rotate 90 degrees. The pot lid that has been riveted is located on the right side of the discharge assembly. The pot lid is pushed by the discharge assembly to complete the riveting work of a single pot lid overflow hole.

[0029] Moreover, the four support plates 8 can be divided into four areas. The riveting machine 1 corresponds to the riveting area. After the riveting is completed, it is the discharge area. The area before the riveting is the alignment area, which is used to adjust the position of the pot lid to ensure that the overflow hole can be aligned with the position of the riveting gun 101. The area aligned with the riveting area is the feeding area. In this area, the workers place the pot lid on the support plate 8 and fix the pot lid with the L-shaped plate 10 and the rubber wheel 11. The four working areas work at the same time, which improves production efficiency.

[0030] During the discharge process, the electric push rod 14 is activated, and the electric push rod 14 pushes out the push plate 15. The push plate 15 passes through the reserved groove 16 of the rotating disk 6, and pushes out the pot lid after it is pressed against it. The pot lid falls onto the conveyor 102 and is conveyed to the next step.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a buffer pad 18, and the top of the feeder 103 is connected to the buffer pad 18.

[0032] When the feeder 103 moves upward and contacts the pot lid, the buffer pad 18 buffers the pressure between the feeder 103 and the pot lid, stabilizing and protecting the pot lid.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes rubber blocks 19, and the rubber wheel 11 is provided with uneven rubber blocks 19.

[0034] The rubber block 19, which is arranged perpendicular to the rotation direction of the rubber wheel 11, increases the surface roughness of the rubber wheel 11, thereby optimizing the friction between the rubber wheel 11 and the pot lid, improving the ability to hold the pot lid, and making the pot lid more stable during processing.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a protective cover 20, and the bottom of the toothed ring 7 is connected to the protective cover 20.

[0036] After the protective cover 20 seals the gear 5 and the gear ring 7, it prevents foreign objects from entering the bottom of the rotating disk 6, thereby ensuring the stable engagement of the gear 5 and the gear ring 7 and improving the stability of the equipment.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a protective pad 21, and the top surface of the support plate 8 is covered with a protective pad 21.

[0038] The protective pad 21 protects the bottom of the pot lid and also optimizes the fixing effect of the support plate 8 and L-shaped plate 10 on the pot lid.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a sponge pad 22, which is connected to the right side of the push plate 15.

[0040] The sponge pad 22 cushions the pressure between the push plate 15 and the pot lid, protecting the sides of the pot lid.

[0041] During operation, the pot lid is placed on one of the four working areas consisting of four support plates 8, on the support plate 8 in the feeding area, and fixed by a rubber wheel 11 connected by an L-shaped plate 10 and a return spring 12. Uneven rubber blocks 19 on the rubber wheel 11 increase friction, ensuring the pot lid's stability. If the pot lid is correctly positioned, i.e., the positioning rod 174 in the positioning assembly 17 smoothly inserts into the vent hole, the motor 4 starts, driving the rotating disk 6 to rotate through the meshing of the gear 5 and the gear ring 7, transporting the pot lid from the alignment area to the riveting area. During transport, the pot lid may move up and down due to varying thickness; the support plate 8 slides on the rotating disk 6 and compresses the buffer spring 9 to accommodate this change. Upon reaching the riveting area, the feeding component 103 delivers the rivet and moves upwards, while the riveting gun 101 moves downwards; the two work together to complete the riveting. After riveting is completed, motor 4 restarts, and the rotary table 6 transports the pot lid to the discharge area. At this time, the electric push rod 14 pushes the push plate 15 through the reserved slot 16 of the rotary table 6, pushing the pot lid to the conveyor 102. The conveyor 102 then transports the pot lid to the next process. Throughout the process, the buffer pad 18, protective cover 20, protective pad 21, and sponge pad 22 respectively play the roles of buffering, protection, and optimization, ensuring the stability and safety of the pot lid during processing. The simultaneous operation of the four working areas improves production efficiency.
