Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] Example 1: This embodiment of the present invention provides a rotary displacement mechanism for transferring bottle caps, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the rotary displacement mechanism for transferring bottle caps includes a fixing component 1, a rotary drive device 2, and a bottle cap transfer plate 3. The fixing component 1 includes a support plate 11, the rotary drive device 2 is located below the support plate 11, and the bottle cap transfer plate 3 is stacked on the upper surface of the support plate 11. The bottle cap transfer plate 3 is provided with a rotating shaft 31, one end of the rotating shaft 31 away from the bottle cap transfer plate 3 passes through the support plate 11 and is connected to the rotary drive device 2. The rotary drive device 2 is used to drive the rotating shaft 31 to rotate, and when the rotating shaft 31 rotates, it drives the bottle cap transfer plate 3 to rotate synchronously. The outer peripheral wall of the bottle cap transfer plate 3 is provided with at least two recesses 301 that are distributed sequentially at intervals, and each recess 301 is used to accommodate at least one bottle cap 10.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the bottle cap transfer plate 3 is provided with three recesses 301 arranged in sequence at intervals. Each recess 301 can accommodate a bottle cap 10, and the inner side of each recess 301 is arc-shaped to adapt to the bottle cap 10.

[0029] The working principle of the rotary displacement mechanism for transferring bottle caps in this embodiment of the invention is as follows: Please refer to... Figure 1In the initial state, multiple bottle caps 10 are continuously fed in one by one from point A. After the bottle cap 10 enters one of the corresponding recesses 301 at point A on the bottle cap transfer plate 3, the rotary drive device 2 drives the bottle cap transfer plate 3 to rotate twice continuously at a fixed angle. During this process, the first recess 301 containing the bottle cap 10 moves to point C, while the other recess 301 of the bottle cap transfer plate 3 receives another bottle cap 10 from point A. As the rotation continues, it will move to point B. Thus, bottle caps 10 are present at both points B and C. Then, the bottle caps 10 at points B and C can be removed together by other automated material handling mechanisms. This cycle is repeated, which facilitates simultaneous material handling at multiple points. The structure of this mechanism is simple, the working time is short, and it helps to improve the efficiency of transferring bottle caps 10 and facilitates the processing and production of bottle caps 10.

[0030] It should be noted that the automated material handling mechanism mentioned in this embodiment is, for example, a material handling mechanism with a suction cup function; in actual applications, it can be designed and selected according to the actual application needs, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations.

[0031] Furthermore, a first through hole is provided at the center of the support plate 11 for the rotating shaft 31 to pass through. A flange seat 4 is provided in the first through hole, and the rotating shaft 31 passes through the flange seat 4. One end of the rotating shaft 31 that passes through the flange seat 4 is connected to the driving end of the rotary drive device 2 through a coupling 5. Through this structural design, the rotary drive device 2 can stably drive the rotating shaft 31 to rotate, and thus, under the drive of the rotating shaft 31, the bottle cap transfer plate 3 can also rotate stably. When the bottle cap transfer plate 3 rotates, the positions of the three notches 301 on it are adjusted, thereby achieving the purpose of transferring the bottle caps 10 in different notches 301 to the corresponding positions.

[0032] Furthermore, the upper surface of the support plate 11 is provided with an arc-shaped bottle cap guard 6. The bottle cap transfer plate 3 is located on the concave side of the bottle cap guard 6. The curvature of the concave side of the bottle cap guard 6 is adapted to the bottle cap transfer plate 3 so that the bottle cap transfer plate 3 can rotate smoothly. The degree of unfolding at both ends of the bottle cap guard 6 is at least adapted to any recess 301 on the bottle cap transfer plate 3 so that the bottle cap 10 can smoothly enter the corresponding recess 301. The upper surface of the bottle cap transfer plate 3 is flush with the upper surface of the bottle cap guard 6, without occupying too much extra space. The design of the bottle cap guard 6 can prevent the bottle cap 10 from falling out of the recess 301 when the bottle cap transfer plate 3 rotates.

[0033] Furthermore, the fixing assembly 1 also includes a first base plate 12 and a plurality of first fixing rods 13. The lower ends of the plurality of first fixing rods 13 are sequentially spaced on the upper surface of the first base plate 12, and the support plate 11 is disposed on the upper ends of the plurality of first fixing rods 13. A space for accommodating and installing the rotary drive device 2 is formed between the first base plate 12, the plurality of first fixing rods 13 and the support plate 11. The overall structure is simple in design and easy to operate.

[0034] Furthermore, the fixing assembly 1 also includes a first mounting plate 14 and a plurality of second fixing rods 15. The upper ends of the plurality of second fixing rods 15 are sequentially spaced on the lower surface of the support plate 11, and the first mounting plate 14 is located at the lower ends of the plurality of second fixing rods. The fixed end of the rotary drive device 2 is located on the lower surface of the first mounting plate 14, and the drive end of the rotary drive device 2 passes through the first mounting plate 14 and is connected to the coupling 5. The diameter of the first mounting plate 14 is smaller than the diameter of the support plate 11. Specifically, a second through hole is provided at the center of the first mounting plate 14 for the drive end of the rotary drive device 2 to pass through, allowing the drive end of the rotary drive device 2 to connect to the coupling 5. The coupling 5 is also connected to the rotating shaft 31, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the bottle cap transfer plate 3 to rotate via the rotary drive device 2. The first mounting plate 14 divides the space between the support plate 11 and the first base plate 12 into upper and lower parts, ensuring stable installation of the rotary drive device 2, providing adequate space for the rotational drive of the rotary drive device 2, and guaranteeing the reliability of the driving performance of the rotary drive device 2.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rotary drive device 2 is a rotary motor.

This rotary displacement mechanism for transferring bottle caps also includes a fixing component 1, a rotary drive device 2, and a bottle cap transfer plate 3; the fixing component 1 also includes a support plate 11. Details regarding the support plate 11, the rotary drive device 2, and the bottle cap transfer plate 3 will not be elaborated further; please refer to Example 1.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 4 , 5As shown, the fixing assembly 1 also includes a second base plate 16, a first side plate 17, and a second side plate 18. The lower ends of the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 are disposed opposite each other on the second base plate 16, for example, the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 are designed to be distributed in a left-right correspondence. A support plate 11 is disposed at the upper end of the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18. A second mounting plate 19 is also provided on the first side plate 17 or the second side plate 18. The second mounting plate 19 is parallel to the support plate 11 and the second base plate 16, and the second mounting plate 19 is located between the support plate 11 and the second base plate 16. Specifically, the synchronous belt 73 transmission assembly includes a driving pulley 71, a driven pulley 72, and a synchronous belt 73. The fixed end of the rotary drive device 2 is located on the lower surface of the second base plate 16. The driving end of the rotary drive device 2 passes through the second base plate 16 and the second mounting plate 19 in sequence and is equipped with the driving pulley 71. The driven pulley 72 is provided on the rotating shaft 31. The synchronous belt 73 connects the driving pulley 71 and the driven pulley 72. Thus, when the driving end of the rotary drive device 2 is activated, the rotating shaft 31 can be driven to rotate through the cooperation of the driving pulley 71, the driven pulley 72, and the synchronous belt 73. The height of the second mounting plate 19 is such that the driving pulley 71 and the driven pulley 72 are flush when the rotary drive device 2 is installed in place.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second base plate 16 is also provided with a lifting adjustment member 8 located below it, and the lower end of the lifting adjustment member 8 is provided with a base 9; the lifting adjustment member 8 includes a fixing part 81 and a lifting part 82, the lower end of the fixing part 81 is provided on the upper surface of the base 9, and the upper end of the lifting part 82 is provided on the lower surface of the second base plate 16.
