Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bottle cap processing, and in particular relates to a bottle cap sorting and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] On a bottle cap production line, the conveying and sorting of bottle caps is a critical step, directly affecting production efficiency and product quality. Traditional bottle cap conveying methods often use simple conveyor belts or vibrating discs for disordered transport. This method is not only inefficient but also prone to collisions and squeezing between bottle caps, leading to deformation or damage.

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, bottle cap sorting and conveying devices have emerged. Existing bottle cap sorting and conveying devices typically have several pairs of guide rods on the conveyor belt, each pair forming a guide channel. Each guide channel has a feeding rack at its front end. Bottle caps slide down the feeding rack into their corresponding guide channels, where all the caps are arranged in rows and conveyed forward. However, in practice, the width of each guide channel cannot be adjusted, making it unsuitable for bottle caps of different sizes. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bottle cap sorting and conveying device, which aims to solve the problem that the existing bottle cap sorting and conveying devices cannot adapt to bottle caps of different sizes.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The bottle cap sorting and conveying device includes a machine base with a feeding conveyor platform. The feeding conveyor platform has fixed frames at both its front and rear ends. Each fixed frame contains a pair of front and rear connecting seats, with the front connecting seats slidably installed and the rear connecting seats fixedly installed. A row of right guide rods is provided between the two front connecting seats, and a row of left guide rods is provided between the two rear connecting seats. The corresponding left and right guide rods form a material guiding channel. A material blocking mechanism is provided at the end of the material guiding channel on the rear fixed frame. The machine base also has a pair of front and rear side frames, with adjusting wheels and pulley sets rotatably mounted on each side frame. A belt is provided between the adjusting wheels and pulley sets. Each front connecting seat has a connecting block mounted on the corresponding belt. The machine base also contains a drive assembly for driving the two adjusting wheels to rotate simultaneously.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the machine base. The front end of the rotating shaft is provided with a universal joint coupling, and the rear end is connected to the shaft of the rear adjusting wheel. The universal joint coupling is connected to the shaft of the front adjusting wheel. The machine base is provided with a drive motor for driving the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0008] Furthermore, the rear fixing bracket has a slot, and the connecting block at the rear is located inside the slot.

[0009] Furthermore, the material blocking mechanism includes a lifting cylinder mounted on the front fixed frame, and the drive shaft of the lifting cylinder is provided with a 7-type material blocking plate.

[0010] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that when the two front connecting seats are moved longitudinally at the same time using the drive assembly, all the right guide rods move longitudinally synchronously, thereby adjusting the distance between the two left and right guide rods in the same group, thereby changing the width of the material guide channel, so as to adapt to bottle caps of different sizes.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model patent clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0015] To illustrate the technical solution described in this utility model, specific embodiments are described below.

[0016] For ease of explanation, only the parts relevant to the embodiments of this utility model are shown.

[0017] Combination Figure 1-3As shown, the bottle cap sorting and conveying device includes a machine base 1, on which a feeding conveyor 2 is provided. The feeding conveyor 2 has fixed frames 3 at both its front and rear ends. Each fixed frame contains a pair of front and rear connecting seats, with the front connecting seat marked 41 and the rear connecting seat marked 42. The front connecting seat 41 is slidably installed, and the rear connecting seat 42 is fixedly installed. A row of right guide rods 5 is provided between the two front connecting seats 41, and a row of left guide rods 6 is provided between the two rear connecting seats 42. The corresponding left and right guide rods form a material guiding channel 7. A material blocking mechanism is provided at the end of the material guiding channel on the rear fixed frame 3. The machine base 1 has a pair of front and rear side frames 8, on which adjusting wheels 9 and pulley sets 10 are rotatably mounted respectively. A belt 11 is provided between the adjusting wheels 9 and the pulley sets 10. Each of the two front connecting seats 41 has a connecting block 12, which is mounted on the corresponding belt 11. The machine base 1 also contains a drive assembly for driving the two adjusting wheels 9 to rotate simultaneously.

[0018] In this device, several right guide rods and several left guide rods are connected between the two front connecting seats and between the two rear connecting seats, respectively. Corresponding left and right guide rods form material guide channels for conveying bottle caps. In practice, each material guide channel at the previous workstation is equipped with a feeding rack, the bottom of which is located directly above the material guide channel. After the bottle caps are processed at the previous workstation, they slide down the feeding rack into the corresponding material guide channel. Within the material guide channel, the bottle caps move one by one and orderly towards the next workstation under the conveyor belt.

[0019] In this structure, the front and rear ends of the feeding conveyor are equipped with fixed frames, and the fixed frames contain a pair of front and rear connecting seats. Since the two front connecting seats are slidably installed and the two rear connecting seats are fixedly installed, when the two front connecting seats are simultaneously adjusted longitudinally using the drive assembly, all the right guide rods move longitudinally synchronously, thereby adjusting the distance between the two left and right guide rods in the same group to change the width of the material guide channel, thus accommodating bottle caps of different sizes.

[0020] As a preferred structure, such as Figure 2-3 The drive assembly includes a rotating shaft 14 rotatably mounted on the machine base 1. The front end of the rotating shaft 14 is provided with a universal joint coupling 15, and the rear end is connected to the shaft of the rear adjusting wheel 9. The universal joint coupling 15 is connected to the shaft of the front adjusting wheel 9. The machine base 1 is provided with a drive motor 16 for driving the rotating shaft 14 to rotate.

[0021] When the drive assembly is used to change the width of each guide channel, the drive motor first drives the rotating shaft to rotate. Under the linkage of the front and rear adjusting wheels, the two belts rotate simultaneously and in the same direction. As the two belts rotate, the front and rear connecting seats slide longitudinally within the corresponding fixed frame under the drive of the connecting block. Then all the right guide rods also move longitudinally together, and the distance between the left and right guide rods in the same group changes accordingly until the guide channel is adjusted to the required width, at which point the drive motor stops working.

[0022] As a specific structure, such as Figure 3 The drive motor 16 is equipped with a drive wheel 20 and the shaft 14 is equipped with a driven wheel 21, and a linkage belt 22 is fitted onto the drive wheel 20 and the driven wheel 21. When the shaft needs to rotate, the drive motor starts to work, and the drive motor drives the drive wheel to rotate. Under the action of the linkage belt, the driven wheel drives the shaft to rotate.

[0023] As shown in the diagram, there is a height difference between the two fixed brackets, and similarly, there is a height difference between the two adjusting wheels. Therefore, in the above structure, the front end of the rotating shaft is equipped with a universal joint coupling, and the rear end is connected to the shaft of the rear adjusting wheel. Thus, when the rotating shaft rotates, under the linkage of the universal joint coupling, the front and rear adjusting wheels can rotate simultaneously, and under the drive of the two belts, the two front connecting seats can slide in the same direction.

[0024] In addition, the rear fixing bracket 3 has a slot 17, and the rear connecting block 12 is located in the slot 17. The slot serves two purposes: firstly, it avoids the rear connecting block, and secondly, it serves as a limiting device.

[0025] In this structure, such as Figure 1 The material blocking mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 18 mounted on the front fixed frame 3, and the drive shaft of the lifting cylinder 18 is equipped with a 7-type baffle plate 19. The main purpose of the material blocking mechanism is to prevent bottle caps in the guide channel from entering the next station. That is, the lifting cylinder drives the baffle plate to move downward, and when the baffle plate moves into position, it blocks the outlet of all guide channels.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
