Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cap conveying equipment, specifically a thin cap conveying device for a capping machine. Background Technology

[0002] The cap conveying device of a capping machine is a crucial part of the capping process. It is responsible for transferring caps from the storage location to the capping station, ensuring that the caps arrive accurately on top of each bottle to be capped. Current cap conveying methods typically involve a cap feeder feeding caps into a cap chute, transporting them one after another. This method is generally suitable for thicker, regularly shaped caps, such as round caps. However, for thinner, irregularly shaped caps, this method can easily lead to squeezing and collisions between bottles, causing deformation or damage. Furthermore, it can easily cause jamming or misalignment during transport, affecting the stability and safety of the process. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a thin cap conveying device for a capping machine that can improve the stability and safety of conveying.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a thin cap conveying device for a capping machine, comprising a main drive sprocket, a driven drive sprocket, a follower chain, cap hanging boss followers, and a cap sorting slide. The main drive sprocket is mounted on a drive shaft, the driven drive sprocket is mounted on a driven shaft, a drive wheel is mounted on the drive shaft, and a driven wheel is mounted on the driven shaft. The main drive sprocket and the driven drive sprocket are connected by the follower chain. Multiple cap hanging boss followers are provided, spaced apart on the follower chain. The cap sorting slide is connected to the cap sorting machine, and the cap outlet of the cap sorting slide is located directly above the follower chain.

[0005] Furthermore, symmetrical elastic clamping members are provided on both sides of the outlet, which are used to clamp and position the cover at the outlet.

[0006] Furthermore: the elastic clamping member includes a connecting section and a clamping section, the connecting section and the clamping section forming an L-shaped structure, the connecting section being fixed on the connecting arm, and the outer end of the clamping section being bent outward to form a clamping part.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a buffer adjustment mechanism, which is disposed on a cover plate located above the main drive sprocket and the driven drive sprocket. The buffer adjustment mechanism is provided with a pressure cap structure, which is located directly above the follower chain and connected to the outlet.

[0008] Furthermore: the pressure cap structure includes left and right symmetrical front pressure cap plates, each of the front pressure cap plates is mounted on a support rod, the support rod is mounted on the rear pressure cap plate, and the rear pressure cap plate is connected to the buffer adjustment mechanism.

[0009] Further: The buffer adjustment mechanism includes a mounting frame, an adjustment plate, a buffer rod, a buffer spring, and a guide rod. The mounting frame is disposed on the cover plate, the adjustment plate is disposed on the mounting frame, the buffer rod is movably disposed on the adjustment plate, a fixing block is disposed at the top end of the buffer rod, a connecting block is disposed at the bottom end of the buffer rod, the buffer spring is fitted on the buffer rod and is located between the adjustment plate and the connecting block, and two guide rods are disposed on both sides of the buffer rod, and each guide rod is disposed on the adjustment plate through a linear bearing. The top end of the guide rod is connected to the fixing block, and the bottom end of the guide rod passes through the connecting block and is connected to the rear end cover plate.

[0010] Furthermore: the adjustment plate is provided with adjustment holes, and the mounting bracket is provided with connection holes. The adjustment holes and the connection holes are both oblong. The adjustment plate is connected to the mounting bracket through the adjustment holes and the connection holes.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. By spacedly arranging multiple cap-hanging boss followers on a follower chain, which is fitted between the main drive sprocket and the driven drive sprocket, the caps are hung by the cap-hanging boss followers to transport them to the capping station. Because the multiple cap-hanging boss followers are spaced apart, one cap-hanging boss follower hangs one cap, thus creating a distance between the caps. Even for irregularly shaped caps, there is no need to consider the orientation of the cap when hanging them, and the caps will not be damaged due to compression.

[0013] 2. By setting a buffer adjustment mechanism and a pressure cap structure on the buffer adjustment mechanism, the pressure cap structure presses on the top of the cover during the movement of the cover driven by the cover boss follower, preventing the cover from shifting during movement. The buffer adjustment mechanism also ensures that the pressure cap structure presses the cover tightly while preventing excessive pressure from damaging the cover, thus improving the stability and safety of the conveying process.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a thin cap conveying device for a capping machine, including a main drive sprocket 1, a driven drive sprocket 2, a follower chain 3, a cap hanging boss follower 4, and a cap sorting slide 5. The main drive sprocket 1 is mounted on a drive shaft 6, and the driven drive sprocket 2 is mounted on a driven shaft 7. The drive shaft 6 is equipped with a drive wheel 8, and the driven shaft 7 is equipped with a driven wheel 9. The main drive sprocket 1 and the driven drive sprocket 2 are connected by the follower chain 3. Multiple cap hanging boss followers 4 are provided, and the multiple cap hanging boss followers 4 are spaced apart on the follower chain 3. The cap sorting slide 5 is connected to the cap sorting machine, and the cap outlet 10 of the cap sorting slide 5 is located directly above the follower chain 3.

[0020] The power sources for the driving pulley 8 and the driven pulley 9 are a motor and a belt (not shown in the figure).

[0021] The two sides of the outlet 10 are provided with symmetrical elastic clamping members 11, which are used to clamp and position the cover 32 at the outlet 10.

[0022] During operation, the lid 32 is conveyed to the lid outlet 10 by the lid guide 5 through the lid guide machine (not shown). At this time, the lid 32 is held and positioned by the elastic clamping member 11. The motor and belt drive the drive wheel 8 and driven wheel 9 to drive the main drive sprocket 1 and driven drive sprocket 2 to rotate, thereby driving the follower chain 3 to move and driving the lid hanging boss follower 4 to move. When the lid hanging boss follower 4 moves to directly below the lid outlet 10, the lid hanging boss follower 4 enters the lid 32 and hangs the lid 32. As the lid hanging boss follower 4 moves with the follower chain 3, the lid 32 is conveyed to the capping station. The follower chain 3 moves back and forth in a cycle, and the lid hanging boss follower 4 hangs the lid in a cycle, thereby realizing the conveying of the lid 32.

[0023] The elastic clamping member 11 includes a connecting section 12 and a clamping section 13, which form an L-shaped structure. The connecting section 12 is fixed on the connecting arm 14, and the outer end of the clamping section 13 is bent outward to form a clamping part 15.

[0024] When the cover 32 slides from the cover slide 5 to the cover outlet 10, the clamping parts 15 of the left and right symmetrical spring clamping parts 11 cooperate to clamp the two sides of the cover 32, thereby positioning the cover 32. When the cover mounting boss follower 4 enters the cover 32, the cover mounting boss follower 4, under the action of the forward movement force provided by the follower chain 3, causes the cover 32 to disengage from the clamping parts 15, and the cover 32 moves with the cover mounting boss follower 4.

[0025] It also includes a buffer adjustment mechanism 16, which is mounted on a cover plate 17. The cover plate 17 is located above the main drive sprocket 1 and the driven drive sprocket 2. A pressure cover structure 18 is mounted on the buffer adjustment mechanism 16. The pressure cover structure 18 is located directly above the follower chain 3 and is connected to the outlet 10.

[0026] The pressure cap structure 18 includes left and right symmetrical front pressure cap plates 19, each front pressure cap plate 19 is mounted on a support rod 20, the support rod 20 is mounted on a rear pressure cap plate 21, and the rear pressure cap plate 21 is connected to the buffer adjustment mechanism 16.

[0027] The buffer adjustment mechanism 16 includes a mounting frame 22, an adjustment plate 23, a buffer rod 24, a buffer spring 25, and a guide rod 26. The mounting frame 22 is mounted on the cover plate 17, the adjustment plate 23 is mounted on the mounting frame 22, the buffer rod 24 is movably mounted on the adjustment plate 23, a fixing block 27 is provided at the top of the buffer rod 24, and a connecting block 28 is provided at the bottom of the buffer rod 24. The buffer spring 25 is fitted on the buffer rod 24 and is located between the adjustment plate 23 and the connecting block 28. There are two guide rods 26, which are located on both sides of the buffer rod 24. Each guide rod 26 is mounted on the adjustment plate 23 through a linear bearing 29. The top of the guide rod 26 is connected to the fixing block 27, and the bottom of the guide rod 26 passes through the connecting block 28 and is connected to the rear cover plate 21.

[0028] When the follower chain 3 drives the cap boss follower 4 to move the cap 32 to the capping station, the front capping plate 19 and the rear capping plate 21 press against the cap 32 respectively, thereby preventing the cap 32 from shifting during movement and improving the stability of the conveying process. During the capping process, the buffer spring 25 can stably press the cap 32 with the front capping plate 19 and the rear capping plate 21, while also preventing excessive pressure that could damage the cap 32.

[0029] The adjusting plate 23 is provided with an adjusting hole 30, and the mounting bracket 22 is provided with a connecting hole 31. The adjusting hole 30 and the connecting hole 31 are respectively oblong. The adjusting plate 23 is connected to the mounting bracket 22 through the adjusting hole 30 and the connecting hole 31.

[0030] Bolts are installed in the adjusting hole 30 and the connecting hole 31 to fix the adjusting plate 23 and the mounting bracket 22 to each other. The position of the adjusting plate 23 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjusting bolts in the adjusting hole 30 and the connecting hole 31, so that the adjusting plate 23 drives the front end cover plate 19 and the rear end cover plate 21 to move, so that the two are adapted to the position of the follower chain 3.

[0031] The above detailed description is a specific description of a feasible embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent implementations or modifications that do not depart from the present utility model should be included in the patent scope of this case.
