Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of easy-open lid conveying equipment, and in particular to a mechanism for automatically rejecting inverted lids. Background Technology

[0002] The lids of some cans protrude outwards in the middle (see attached document for details). Figure 2 The cap shown is used in a process where it needs to be stacked sequentially to form a strip (referred to as cap strip) and transported forward. Reversed caps (referred to as reverse caps) are sometimes mixed in with the cap strip. These reversed caps hinder subsequent automated processing. Traditionally, workers manually sort the reversed caps from the conveyor mechanism. However, manual sorting requires significant human intervention. Against this backdrop, the applicant aims to develop an automatic reverse cap removal mechanism to automatically remove reversed caps from the cap strip, further reducing manual intervention and saving labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to automatically remove the reversed caps from the cap strip, further reducing manual intervention and saving labor.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A mechanism for automatically removing flipped caps, comprising:

[0006] The conveying mechanism is used to move the cover material forward;

[0007] Testing agency, used to test the reverse cover;

[0008] A kick-off mechanism is used to remove the inverted cap;

[0009] The cap blowing mechanism is used to blow rejected inverted caps into the unloading box;

[0010] The feeding box is used to feed the inverted cover.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a controller, and the detection mechanism, the lid-kicking mechanism, and the lid-blowing mechanism are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0012] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes a first driving mechanism and two sets of symmetrically arranged belts, wherein the first driving mechanism drives the two sets of belts to rotate.

[0013] Furthermore, the detection mechanism includes a signal transmitter and a signal receiver, which cooperate with each other and are located on both sides of the transmission mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the kick-off mechanism includes a second drive mechanism and a top plate, the top plate being located below the two sets of belts, and the second drive mechanism driving the top plate to move up and down.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes two sets of guide side plates, which are located directly above the kick-top mechanism and on both sides of the conveying mechanism.

[0016] Furthermore, the blowing mechanism includes an air blowing mechanism and an air blowing nozzle. The air blowing nozzle is connected to the air outlet of the air blowing mechanism, and the air blowing nozzle and the feeding box are located on both sides above the kicking mechanism.

[0017] Furthermore, the feeding box is provided with a feeding channel, and a feeding port is opened at the end of the feeding channel.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses a conveying mechanism to drive the cover strip forward. When the covers are placed in the correct order, they will be stacked tightly one by one. When one of the covers is stacked in reverse, the protruding part in the middle of the cover will press against the previous cover, resulting in a large gap between the two covers. The detection mechanism detects this gap, that is, it detects that the cover is reversed. The kicking mechanism removes the reversed cover, and the blowing mechanism blows the removed reversed cover to the feeding box. The feeding box then feeds the reversed cover, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically removing reversed covers from the cover strip, and further reducing manual intervention and saving labor.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 The automatic cap-removing mechanism shown includes: a controller, a conveying mechanism 1, a detection mechanism 2, a cap-kicking mechanism 3, two sets of guide side plates 4, a cap-blowing mechanism 5, and a feeding box 6.

[0031] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 is used to drive the cover material forward; the detection mechanism 2 is used to detect the reversed cover 8; the kicking mechanism 3 is used to remove the reversed cover 8; the blowing mechanism 5 is used to blow the removed reversed cover 8 to the unloading box 6; and the unloading box 6 is used to unload the reversed cover 8.

[0032] The detection mechanism 2, the lid-kicking mechanism 3, and the lid-blowing mechanism 5 are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0033] The conveying mechanism 1 includes a first drive mechanism 11, two sets of symmetrically arranged belts 12, a support frame, and a pivot wheel. The pivot wheel is pivotally connected to the support frame, and the two sets of belts 12 are wound around the pivot wheel. The first drive mechanism 11 drives the two sets of belts 12 to rotate. The cover strip 7 is placed between the two sets of belts 12. When the two sets of belts 12 rotate, they drive the cover strip 7 forward.

[0034] The detection mechanism 2 includes a signal transmitter 21 and a signal receiver 22. The signal transmitter 21 and the signal receiver 22 are electrically connected to the controller. The signal transmitter 21 and the signal receiver 22 cooperate with each other and are located on both sides of the transmission mechanism 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the covers 9 are placed in the correct order, they will be stacked tightly one after another. When one of the covers 9 is stacked in reverse, the outward protrusion in the middle of the cover 9 will press against the previous cover 9, resulting in a large gap between the two covers 9. The signal transmitter 21 and the signal receiver 22 are located on both sides of the cover 9. During operation, the cover strip 7 passes through the space between the signal transmitter 21 and the signal receiver 22. The signal transmitter 21 emits a light signal toward the signal receiver 22. The light signal is blocked by the normally placed cover 9. When the light signal passes through the gap between the two covers 9, the signal receiver 22 receives the light signal and sends a signal to the controller, indicating that there is a reversed cover 8 at that location.

[0036] The kick-off mechanism 3 includes a second drive mechanism 31 and a top plate 32. The top plate 32 is located below the two sets of belts 12. The second drive mechanism 31 drives the top plate 32 to move up and down. When the controller receives the signal from the signal receiver 22, it controls the second drive mechanism 31 to drive the top plate 32 to extend upward and retract quickly, so that the flip cover 8 is quickly pushed out upward through the top plate 32.

[0037] Two sets of guide side plates 4 are located directly above the kick cover mechanism 3, and the two sets of guide side plates 4 are located on both sides of the conveying mechanism 1. The two sets of guide side plates 4 play a guiding role for the upwardly pushed-out inverted cover 8.

[0038] The blowing mechanism 5 includes a blowing mechanism and a blowing nozzle. The blowing nozzle is connected to the air outlet of the blowing mechanism, and the blowing nozzle and the feeding box 6 are located on both sides above the kicking mechanism 3. The reverse cover 8 is pushed upward to the blowing nozzle. The controller controls the blowing mechanism to work and blows air through the blowing nozzle to blow the reverse cover 8 into the feeding box 6.

[0039] The feeding box 6 is equipped with a feeding channel, and the end of the feeding channel is provided with a feeding port; the flip cover 8 falls into the feeding box 6, slides down the feeding channel to the feeding port, and finally falls into other collection boxes through the feeding port.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The cover strip 7 is placed between two sets of belts 12. The first drive mechanism 11 drives the two sets of belts 12 to rotate, which drives the cover strip 7 forward. During operation, the cover strip 7 passes between the signal transmitter 21 and the signal receiver 22. The signal transmitter 21 emits a light signal towards the signal receiver 22. When the light signal passes through the gap between the two covers 9, the signal receiver 22 receives the light signal and sends a signal to the controller, indicating that there is a reverse cover 8 at that location. The controller controls the second drive mechanism 31 to drive the top plate 32 to extend upward and retract quickly. The reverse cover 8 is pushed upward quickly through the top plate 32. The reverse cover 8 is pushed upward to the air nozzle. The controller controls the air blowing mechanism to work. Air is blown out through the air nozzle to blow the reverse cover 8 into the feeding box 6. The reverse cover 8 slides down the feeding channel to the feeding port and finally falls into other collection boxes through the feeding port, completing the removal of the reverse cover 8.

Therefore, any equivalent changes made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
