DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying Figures 1-4 The application is further described in detail.

[0034] The application discloses an automatic feeding mechanism of a bottle cap printing and visual detection device, which refers to Figure 1 , comprising a storage hopper 1, a vibrating disc 2 and a feeding conveyor belt 3; the storage hopper 1 is located above the vibrating disc 2, a discharge port is formed in the bottom of the storage hopper 1, and the discharge port is in communication with a top inlet port of the vibrating disc 2; a guide pipe 21 is in communication with a discharge end of the vibrating disc 2, and an end of the guide pipe 21 away from the vibrating disc 2 extends to the feeding conveyor belt 3.

[0035] After the bottle caps to be detected in the storage hopper 1 pass through the discharge port and enter the vibrating disc 2, the bottle caps are driven to stand up and arrange by the vibrating disc 2 and are conveyed into the guide pipe 21, and then the bottle caps are guided and conveyed to the feeding conveyor belt 3 through the guide pipe 21, and the feeding conveyor belt 3 further conveys the bottle caps, so that the automatic feeding of the bottle caps is realized.

[0036] A mounting frame 20 is arranged at the bottom of the vibrating disc 2, and the vibrating disc 2 is mounted at the top of the mounting frame 20; a plurality of legs 10 are connected to the outside of the storage hopper 1 in a vertical downward direction, and bottom ends of the legs 10 are fixed to the top of the mounting frame 20, which is beneficial to stably supporting the storage hopper 1 above the vibrating disc 2.

An output end of the feeding conveyor belt 11 extends to above the top inlet port of the vibrating disc 2. The feeding conveyor belt 11 and the discharge port at the bottom of the storage hopper 1 leave a discharge gap, and the discharge gap is used for conveying the bottle caps falling from the discharge port of the storage hopper 1 to the vibrating disc 2 by the feeding conveyor belt 11. In the actual use process, an operator can adjust the size of the discharge gap according to actual needs, so as to avoid the blocking of the feeding conveyor belt 11 when conveying the bottle caps.

[0038] In the embodiment, an infrared sensor is installed in the vibration disc 2, and a PLC control system is also installed at the bottom of the mounting frame; the infrared sensor and the feeding conveyor belt 11 are both electrically connected with the PLC control system, the infrared sensor is used for detecting the number of bottle caps in the vibration disc 2 and feeding back a signal to the PLC control system; the PLC control system is used for controlling the feeding conveyor belt 11 to start and stop according to the feedback signal of the infrared sensor. When the infrared sensor detects that there is a lack of bottle caps in the vibration disc 2, a signal is fed back to the PLC control system, and the feeding conveyor belt 11 is started by the PLC control system to direct the bottle caps discharged from the bottom discharge port of the storage hopper 1 to the vibration disc 2 through the feeding conveyor belt 11, so as to realize the automatic feeding of the bottle caps in the vibration disc 2; when the infrared sensor detects that the feeding of the bottle caps in the vibration disc 2 is completed, a signal is fed back to the PLC control system, and the feeding conveyor belt 11 is closed by the PLC control system to limit the bottle caps from continuing to be transmitted into the vibration disc 2, thereby reducing the situation that the vibration disc 2 is affected due to too many bottle caps.

[0039] The feeding conveyor belt 11 is connected with a baffle 111 on opposite sides, the baffle 111 extends to the bottom of the storage hopper 1 at the top, and the baffle 111 extends to both ends of the feeding conveyor belt 11 at both ends.

A plurality of long strip through holes 211 are uniformly arranged on the outer side of the guide pipe 21 along the extending direction of the guide pipe 21. The long strip through holes 211 are arranged to facilitate the observation of the conveying of the bottle caps in the guide pipe 21, and to facilitate the operation personnel to insert a screwdriver or the like into the guide pipe 21 through the long strip through holes 211 to dredge the bottle caps when the conveying of the bottle caps in the guide pipe 21 is blocked.

One end of the conveying gap is arranged close to the pipe opening of the guide pipe 21 to realize the communication between the guide pipe 21 and the conveying gap. The bottle caps discharged from the guide pipe 21 can enter the conveying gap in sequence, and the conveying gap formed by the two limiting rods 32 can limit and guide the bottle caps entering the feeding conveying belt 3, so that the feeding conveying belt 3 can convey the bottle caps more regularly, and the disorderly accumulation of the bottle caps in the conveying process of the feeding conveying belt 3 can be reduced.

In actual use, the relative position of the two limiting rods 32 can be adjusted to adapt the conveying gap formed by the two limiting rods 32 to different specifications of the bottle caps.

[0045] One of the two limiting rods 32 is connected with a plurality of supports 33 on the outer side. The end of the support 33 away from the limiting rod 32 is fixed on the outer side of the feeding conveying belt 3 to stably support the two limiting rods 32 on the feeding conveying belt 3. The bottom of the two limiting rods 32 is spaced apart from the conveying plane of the feeding conveying belt 3 to limit the interference of the two limiting rods 32 with the normal conveying of the feeding conveying belt 3.

[0046] The implementation principle of the embodiment is that the feeding conveying belt 11 conveys the bottle caps falling from the top discharge port of the storage hopper 1 into the vibration disc 2. The vibration disc 2 arranges and sequentially conveys the bottle caps into the guide pipe 21.
