Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capping machines, and in particular to a vial capping machine that can automatically sort caps. Background Technology
[0002] Vial capping is a crucial step in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process. In traditional vial capping operations, the loading and feeding of caps are handled by a cap feeder.
[0003] Existing vial capping machines require pre-capping before operation. The process of adding caps to the cap feeder largely relies on manual labor, requiring workers to manually move boxes containing bulk caps to the feeder and pour them in. Because the capping inlet of the feeder is generally located relatively high, manual cap handling is physically demanding, especially during large-scale production. Frequent cap handling and feeding actions can easily lead to fatigue, impacting work efficiency and production schedule.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new automatic vial capping machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a vial capping machine that can automatically sort caps.
[0006] This utility model provides an automatic capping bottle capping machine, comprising: a frame, one end of which is provided with a feeding conveyor belt, and the other end of which is provided with a discharge rail; a dial assembly is mounted on the frame, and a capping assembly is mounted on one end of the discharge rail; a cap feeder is mounted on the frame; an auxiliary conveying mechanism, comprising a side frame, which is fixedly connected to the frame; both ends of the side frame are provided with protruding plates; a vertical rod is fixedly connected between the two protruding plates; a T-shaped block is slidably connected to the vertical rod; a drive shaft is rotatably connected between the two protruding plates; and a main motor is mounted on the top end of the side frame, with the output end of the main motor fixedly connected to the drive shaft.
[0007] Preferably, the T-block has a threaded opening, the drive shaft is a threaded rod, and the T-block is threadedly connected to the drive shaft.
[0008] Preferably, the side frame is provided with an opening slot, the front end of the T-shaped block is slidably connected to the opening slot, a lifting seat is installed and connected to the front end of the T-shaped block, and a feeding hopper is provided on the lifting seat.
[0009] Preferably, side ears are fixedly connected to both sides of the lifting seat, and two pins are symmetrically provided at the lower end of the feeding hopper, with the two pins rotatably connected to the two side ears respectively.
[0010] Preferably, a back plate is fixedly connected to the middle position of the lifting seat.
[0011] Preferably, a latch is provided at the middle position of the feeding hopper, a frame is fixedly connected to the top of the back plate, a take-up roller is rotatably connected to the frame, and a steel cable is installed and connected between the take-up roller and the latch.
[0012] Preferably, a small motor is installed and connected to the side wall of the back plate, and the output end of the small motor is fixedly connected to the take-up roller.
[0013] Compared with related technologies, the vial capping machine with automatic cap sorting provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This utility model drives the drive shaft to rotate through the output end of the main motor, causing the T-shaped block to slide stably relative to the vertical rod. The front end of the T-shaped block drives the lifting seat to move upward, thereby automatically lifting the bottle caps in the feeding hopper to the height of the cap feeder, so as to facilitate the automatic feeding of bottle caps. There is no need for manual handling and lifting, which greatly saves manpower, improves feeding efficiency, reduces the labor intensity and time cost of manual operation, and helps to improve the automation level and production rhythm of the overall production process.
[0015] 2. This utility model uses a small motor output to drive the take-up roller to rotate, so that the wound steel cable is released stably, releasing the locking position of the latch lugs. This allows the inclined feeding hopper to rotate stably relative to the two side lugs until it tilts, enabling the cap feeder to conveniently and stably feed the bottle caps, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the cap supply, and effectively improving the working stability and reliability of the capping machine.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 An automatic capping bottle capping machine includes: a frame 1, with a feeding conveyor belt 2 at one end of the frame 1 and a discharge rail 21 at the other end of the frame 1; a dial assembly 3 is installed and connected on the frame 1; a capping assembly 4 is installed and connected to one end of the discharge rail 21; and a cap feeder 5 is installed and connected on the frame 1; an auxiliary conveying mechanism, including a side frame 6, which is fixedly connected to the frame 1; both ends of the side frame 6 are provided with protruding plates; a vertical rod 61 is fixedly connected between the two protruding plates; a T-shaped block 62 is slidably connected to the vertical rod 61; a drive shaft 63 is rotatably connected between the two protruding plates; and a main motor 64 is installed and connected to the top of the side frame 6, with the output end of the main motor 64 fixedly connected to the drive shaft 63.
[0022] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the T-block 62 is provided with a threaded opening, and the drive shaft 63 is a threaded rod. The T-block 62 and the drive shaft 63 are threadedly connected.
[0023] It should be noted that the output of the main motor 64 drives the drive shaft 63 to rotate, causing the T-shaped block 62 to slide stably relative to the vertical rod 61. The front end of the T-shaped block 62 drives the lifting seat 7 to move upward, thus automatically lifting the bottle caps in the feeding hopper 71 to the height of the cap sorter 5. This is very convenient as it does not require manual handling.
[0024] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the side frame 6 is provided with an opening slot, the front end of the T-shaped block 62 is slidably connected to the opening slot, and a lifting seat 7 is installed and connected to the front end of the T-shaped block 62. The lifting seat 7 is provided with a feeding hopper 71.
[0025] It should be noted that the bottle caps in the lifting hopper 71 are moved up to the height of the cap feeder 5 to facilitate automatic feeding of bottle caps, eliminating the need for manual lifting and moving by staff, which saves a lot of effort.
[0026] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, side ears 72 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lifting seat 7, and two pins 73 are symmetrically provided at the lower end of the feeding hopper 71. The two pins 73 are rotatably connected to the two side ears 72 respectively.
[0027] It should be noted that the inclined feeding hopper 71 rotates stably relative to the two side ears 72 until it is tilted, so as to facilitate the direct pouring out of the bottle caps, allowing the bottle caps to be automatically added into the cap feeder 5.
[0028] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a back plate 8 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the lifting seat 7.
[0029] It should be noted that the back plate 8 can be used to fit the feeding hopper 71 and limit the degree of rotation of the feeding hopper 71.
[0030] refer to Figure 3 As shown, a latch 9 is provided at the middle position of the feeding hopper 71, and a frame 91 is fixedly connected to the top of the back plate 8. A winding roller 92 is rotatably connected to the frame 91, and a steel cable 93 is installed and connected between the winding roller 92 and the latch 9.
[0031] It should be noted that: the rotation of the take-up roller 92 causes the wound steel cable 93 to be released stably, releasing the locking position of the bolt lug 9, so that the inclined feed hopper 71 rotates stably relative to the two side lugs 72.
[0032] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a small motor 94 is installed and connected to the side wall of the back plate 8, and the output end of the small motor 94 is fixedly connected to the take-up roller 92.
[0033] It should be noted that starting the small motor 94 causes its output end to drive the winding roller 92 to rotate, thereby controlling the winding of the steel cable 93 to be stably wound and unwound.
[0034] The working principle of the vial capping machine with automatic cap sorting provided by this utility model is as follows: The bottle caps are poured into the inside of the feeding hopper 71, and the main motor 64 is started so that its output end drives the drive shaft 63 to rotate, causing the T-shaped block 62 to slide stably relative to the vertical rod 61. The front end of the T-shaped block 62 drives the lifting seat 7 to move upward, thereby realizing the automatic lifting of the bottle caps in the feeding hopper 71 to the height of the cap sorter 5, so as to facilitate the automatic feeding of bottle caps. There is no need for the staff to manually lift and move them, which is very labor-saving and facilitates the automatic sorting of bottle caps by the cap sorter 5.
[0035] Start the small motor 94 so that its output end drives the take-up roller 92 to rotate, so that the wound steel cable 93 is released stably, and the locking position of the latch 9 is released, so that the inclined feeding hopper 71 rotates stably relative to the two side ears 72 until it is tilted, so that the bottle cap can be poured out directly. This allows the cap feeder 5 to automatically complete the cap feeding process, which is very convenient and stable.
[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
