Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic capping device technology, and in particular to an automatic capping device. Background Technology

[0002] When capping an object, an automatic capper is often used. Its main function is to accurately place the cap on the bottle opening and apply pressure to ensure that the cap fits tightly to prevent the contents of the bottle from leaking or being contaminated by the outside. Therefore, there are different types of equipment such as mechanical cappers, pneumatic cappers, and hydraulic cappers.

[0003] A pneumatic capper typically consists of a support base, a cylinder assembly, and a pressure head. Compressed air is supplied to the cylinder via an air source assembly, causing a linear motion of the internal piston. This piston motion drives the connected pressure head to press down and cap the bottle neck. After capping, the pressure inside the cylinder is released, and the pressure head returns to its original position, ready for the next operation, thus achieving a highly efficient and automated capping process.

[0004] However, during use, some automatic cappers lack a precise bottle positioning mechanism when pressing down, causing the bottle to tilt or shift during capping, thus affecting the sealing performance. This inaccurate positioning not only increases the gap between the cap and the bottle mouth, increasing the risk of leakage, but also leads to cap damage or device malfunction, resulting in a decrease in production efficiency. Therefore, an automatic capper is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic capping device, comprising a base 1. A transport component for transporting and processing is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The transport component includes a motor 2, which is a high-speed and high-efficiency electric motor 8, externally fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 to ensure it is not easily loosened or displaced during operation. The output end of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to a connecting frame 3. Multiple rotating columns 4 are fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting frame 3, effectively bearing the friction and load during operation. Connecting frames 3 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the rotating columns 4. The bottom of the connecting frame 3 is fixed. Connected to the top of the base 1, the motor 2 drives multiple rotating columns 4 to rotate, enabling the transport of materials. Two support plates 5 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, which enhances the sturdiness and durability of the equipment. The exterior of the transport component is on the adjacent side of the two support plates 5. A pressing component for pressing is fixedly connected to the top of the two support plates 5. The pressing component includes a connecting plate 6 to ensure the stability of the pressing component. The exterior of the connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the adjacent side of the two support plates 5. A cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 6. The cylinder 7 is a high-efficiency pneumatic device that can generate adjustable pressure to achieve precise pressing of the bottle cap.

[0033] A motor 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1. A connecting block 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 8. Movable columns 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting block 9, allowing for easy movement. A connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the outside of the two movable columns 10, providing excellent load-bearing and connection capabilities. A sliding component for sliding is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 11. The sliding component includes multiple support plates 12, ensuring the durability and stability of the sliding component. The bottom of the support plates 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. Two sliding plates 13 are fixedly connected to the top of the multiple support plates 12. A locking plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the two sliding plates 13. The locking plate 14 is designed to adapt to the shape of different covers, ensuring the fit of the pressing parts. The outside of the locking plate 14 is on the top of the rotating column 4. The top of the sliding component is fixedly connected to the locking plate 14. The rotation of the motor 8 can drive the connecting block 9 to rotate, causing the two movable columns 10 to drive the connecting rod 11 to slide the sliding component, making the two locking plates 14 at the top move closer to each other.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3A connecting post 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 6, which provides stable support. A base plate 19 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting post 15, which improves durability and stability during long-term use. Multiple arc-shaped grooves 16 are opened inside the base plate 19, and sliding posts 17 are slidably connected inside the multiple arc-shaped grooves 16. The design of the arc-shaped grooves 16 allows the sliding posts 17 to slide smoothly in them, thereby reducing friction and improving control precision. A limit post 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding post 17. The main function of the limit post 18 is to limit the movement range of the sliding post 17. A support rod 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding post 17 to reduce weight and ensure strength. An outwardly expanding arc plate 21 is fixedly connected to the outside of the support rod 20. A lever 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 19. The outwardly expanding arc plate 21 can be extended outward by lever 22 to adapt to the processing of different covers. The outside of the outwardly expanding arc plate 21 is at the bottom of the base plate 19.

[0035] Working principle: First, motor 2 starts and drives multiple rotating columns 4 to rotate via connecting frame 3, thereby conveying the transported materials. After the materials are transported to the predetermined position, motor 8 starts, driving connecting block 9 to rotate, which in turn moves two movable columns 10. Movable columns 10, through rotating connecting rod 11, drive multiple support plates 12 in the sliding assembly to slide forward, pushing the two top sliding plates 13 and locking plates 14 inward. Locking plates 14 fit tightly against the bottle cap. During the pressing process, the air pressure generated by cylinder 7 applies force to connecting plate 6, accurately aligning and pressing the bottle cap to ensure a tight seal at the bottle opening. After completion, cylinder 7 releases pressure, and the sliding assembly returns to its initial position under the action of the two movable columns 10, preparing for the next pressing operation.

[0036] During startup, the connecting plate 6 stably supports the entire capping mechanism via the connecting column 15. The base plate 19 maintains stability and provides support for the multiple arc-shaped grooves 16 inside. The sliding column 17 within the arc-shaped grooves 16 is designed to slide smoothly, allowing it to move flexibly under applied force. The limiting column 18 ensures that the sliding column 17 moves within a specified range, preventing malfunctions caused by excessive movement. When capping is required, pushing the lever 22 extends the outward-expanding arc plate 21. This action allows the outward-expanding arc plate 21 to adapt to caps of different sizes and shapes. After the cap is opened, placing the cap at the bottom of the support rod 20 and pushing the lever 22 again secures the cap, pressing it down during capping to ensure effective sealing. With the assistance of the support rod 20 connected at the bottom, the sliding column 17 reduces the overall weight of the device while maintaining structural strength to meet the stability requirements during repeated operations.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
