Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a capping machine, specifically a fully automatic capping and capping machine. Background Technology

[0002] A capping machine, also called a sealing machine, pressing machine, or locking machine, is a sealing device that secures bottle caps to bottles filled with product. It is a multi-mechanism device that works in concert.

[0003] Existing capping machines generally include a power transmission device and a capping assembly. The capping assembly contains a rotating component. The power device drives the rotating component to rotate, and the bottle cap is locked in the clamp of the rotating component. As the rotating component rotates, the bottle cap is screwed tightly onto the bottle.

[0004] However, existing technology cannot meet the requirement of ensuring one bottle corresponds to one cap during the capping process, and lacks pre-positioning of the bottle body, resulting in difficulty in fully tightening the cap and poor capping effect.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new type of automatic cap feeding, cap picking and cap screwing machine to improve the efficiency of bottle cap sealing and meet the needs of large-scale production. Utility Model Content
