Detailed Implementation

[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0036] First, combine Figures 1-8 This invention describes a bottle cap detection and assembly device according to an embodiment of the present invention, used for detecting and assembling bottle caps.

[0037] like Figures 1-8 As shown in the figure, a bottle cap detection and assembly device according to an embodiment of the present utility model is characterized by comprising: a frame 1, a transition component 2, a detection component 3, and an assembly component 4;

[0038] The detection component 3, assembly component 4 and transition component 2 are all mounted on the frame 1, and the two ends of the frame 1 are respectively provided with a feeding channel and a discharging channel;

[0039] The transition component 2 is used to move the bottle cap in the feed channel to the detection component 3, the assembly component 4 and the discharge channel;

[0040] The detection component 3 includes: a positioning component 31, a rotating disk 321, a probe mechanism 32, and a detection mechanism 33;

[0041] The positioning component 31 is used to position the bottle cap. The positioning component 31 rotates synchronously with the rotating disk 321 and the detection mechanism 33. The probe mechanism 32 is set on the rotating disk 321 and can slide vertically on the rotating disk 321. The probe mechanism 32 is set on the bottle cap corresponding to the positioning component 31. When the probe mechanism 32 slides vertically to the bottom, the probe mechanism 32 covers the bottle cap. The detection mechanism 33 performs airtightness detection on the bottle cap.

[0042] The assembly component 4 is used to assemble the bottle cap.

[0043] In this application, bottle caps are conveyed from the feeding channel of the frame 1 into the frame 1. The bottle caps are first conveyed to the detection component 3 via the transition component 2. The positioning component 31 positions the bottle caps. During the synchronous rotation of the positioning component 31, the rotating disk 321, and the detection mechanism 33, the probe mechanism 32 moves vertically downward, so that the probe mechanism 32 covers the bottle cap, which facilitates the detection mechanism 33 to detect the airtightness of the bottle cap. After detection, the bottle caps are then conveyed to the assembly component 4 via the transition component 2. The assembly component 4 assembles the bottle caps. After assembly, the bottle caps are then conveyed to the discharge channel via the transition component 2. During the detection and assembly of the bottle caps, there is no need to stop the conveying of the bottle caps, which improves the detection and assembly efficiency of the bottle caps and increases the production efficiency of the bottle caps.

[0044] like Figures 4-8 As shown, the detection component 3 includes: a cam bearing 323 and a cam 34;

[0045] One end of the probe mechanism 32 is connected to a cam bearing 323. The cam 34 has a guide rail 341. During the movement of the cam bearing 323 on the guide rail 341, the probe mechanism 32 slides vertically on the rotating disk 321.

[0046] The guide track 341 has: a high section, a descending section, a low section, and an ascending section;

[0047] When the cam bearing 323 is in the high section, the probe mechanism 32 is not in contact with the bottle cap. When the cam bearing 323 is in the descending section, the probe mechanism 32 moves vertically downward relative to the rotating disk 321. When the cam bearing 323 is in the low section, the probe mechanism 32 covers the bottle cap. When the cam bearing 323 is in the ascending section, the probe mechanism 32 moves vertically upward relative to the rotating disk 321.

[0048] When the cam bearing 323 is in the high position, the transition component 2 can transport the bottle cap to the positioning component 31, or transport the detected bottle cap away from the positioning component 31. When the cam bearing 323 is in the descending position, the probe mechanism 32 moves vertically downward relative to the rotating disk 321, covering the bottle cap with the probe mechanism 32. When the cam bearing 323 is in the low position, the probe mechanism 32 fixes the bottle cap from above, so that the detection mechanism 33 can perform airtightness detection on the bottle cap.

[0049] like Figures 4-8 As shown, the positioning component 31 includes: a positioning disk 311 and a material holder 312;

[0050] The positioning disk 311 has multiple material seats 312 arranged in a circular and equal manner. Each material seat 312 has an air hole and is used to position the bottle cap.

[0051] The positioning disk 311 can be driven to rotate by a motor. The material seat 312 has air holes. If the airtightness of the bottle cap is insufficient, gas can escape through the air holes, so that the detection component 3 can detect the airtightness problem of the bottle cap.

[0052] like Figures 6-8 As shown, the probe mechanism 32 includes: a sealing head 324, a sliding block 325, a connecting cylinder 326, a sealing spring 327, and a connecting rod 328;

[0053] The connecting rod 328 is slidably connected to the rotating disk 321. One end of the connecting rod 328 is connected to the cam bearing 323, and the other end is connected to the connecting cylinder 326. The sliding block 325 is slidably disposed inside the connecting cylinder 326. The sealing spring 327 is disposed inside the connecting cylinder 326. One end of the sealing spring 327 is connected to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 326, and the other end is connected to the sliding block 325. The portion of the sliding block 325 extending out of the connecting cylinder 326 is connected to the sealing head 324. The sealing head 324 is used to cover the bottle cap.

[0054] As the cam bearing 323 moves on the guide rail 341, it drives the sealing head 324 to move vertically via the connecting rod 328. The sealing head 324 moves downward and covers the bottle cap. As the connecting rod 328 continues to move downward, the sliding block 325 slides inside the connecting cylinder 326, compressing the sealing spring 327. The elastic force of the sealing spring 327 presses the sealing head 324 onto the bottle cap, making it easier for the detection component 3 to detect the airtightness of the bottle cap through the sealing head 324.

[0055] like Figures 6-8 As shown, the detection mechanism 33 includes: a gas distribution plate 331, a gas supply valve 332, and a detector 333;

[0056] The air distribution plate 331 rotates synchronously with the positioning component 31 and the rotating plate 321. An annular air chamber is formed inside the air distribution plate 331. The air distribution plate 331 has an inlet for connecting to the air supply unit. The air supply valve 332 is located on the air distribution plate 331 and is set corresponding to the sealing head 324. The inlet end of the air supply valve 332 is connected to the annular air chamber, and the outlet end is connected to the sealing head 324. The detector 333 is used to detect changes in air pressure inside the sealing head 324.

[0057] The gas supply unit introduces gas into the gas distribution plate 331 through the inlet. After the sealing head 324 seals the bottle cap, gas is introduced into the sealing head 324 through the gas supply valve 332. When the detector 333 detects that the gas pressure in the sealing head 324 reaches the set value, the valve 32 is closed. If the gas pressure in the sealing head 324 does not decrease after a period of time, the bottle cap has good airtightness.

[0058] like Figures 1-3As shown, the transition component 2 includes: a first transition disk 21, a second transition disk 22, and a third transition disk 23;

[0059] The first transition plate 21 is used to transport bottle caps in the feeding channel to the detection component 3, the second transition plate 22 is used to transport bottle caps detected by the detection component 3 to the assembly component 4, and the third transition plate 23 is used to transport assembled bottle caps to the discharge channel.

[0060] The drive mechanism 7 is used to drive the transition component 2, the detection component 3 and the assembly component 4 to rotate synchronously.

[0061] The drive mechanism 7 drives the first transition plate 21, the second transition plate 22, the third transition plate 23, the detection component 3, and the assembly component 4 to rotate synchronously, so that the bottle caps can be smoothly transported in the frame 1, thereby improving the production efficiency of bottle caps.

[0062] like Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes: waste channel 6 and waste air gun 5;

[0063] The waste channel 6 and the waste air gun 5 are both fixed on the frame 1. The waste air gun 5 is located at the third transition plate 23. The waste channel 6 is set corresponding to the output end of the waste air gun 5. The waste air gun 5 is used to blow unqualified and improperly installed bottle caps into the waste channel 6.

[0064] When the detection component 3 detects a defective product or the assembled component 4 produces a defective product, the waste gas gun 5 blows out high-pressure gas to blow the defective bottle cap into the waste channel 6, and the defective bottle cap is recycled through the waste channel 6.

[0065] Above, refer to Figures 1-8 This invention describes a bottle cap inspection and assembly device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Bottle caps are fed into the frame 1 through the feeding channel. A transition component 2 first transports the bottle caps to the inspection component 3. A positioning component 31 positions the bottle caps. During the synchronous rotation of the positioning component 31, the rotating disk 321, and the inspection mechanism 33, the probe mechanism 32 moves vertically downwards, covering the bottle caps to facilitate the inspection mechanism 33's inspection of the airtightness of the bottle caps. After inspection, the bottle caps are then transported by the transition component 2 to the assembly component 4, where they are assembled. The assembled bottle caps are then transported by the transition component 2 to the discharge channel. During the inspection and assembly process, the bottle caps do not need to be stopped from being fed, thus improving the efficiency of bottle cap inspection and assembly, and ultimately increasing the production efficiency of bottle caps.
