[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a quick-opening device for a plastic cap, comprising a semi-ring 1, an upper grip plate 2, a lower grip plate 3, and a rotating cap opening 4. An adjusting mechanism 5 is provided on the lower grip plate 3, and an auxiliary mechanism 6 is provided on the semi-ring 1. The adjusting mechanism 5 includes a U-shaped frame 51, which is slidably connected to the left and right outer walls of the lower grip plate 3. Rollers 52 are rotatably connected to the left and right inner walls of the U-shaped frame 51 via bearings. An adjusting plate 53 is slidably connected to the bottom inner wall of the U-shaped frame 51. A limiting post 55 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the section plate 53. By setting the limiting post 55 to engage with the positioning hole 57, the U-shaped frame 51 is limited when it moves backward. A compression spring 54 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the adjusting plate 53. An inclined arc surface 56 is provided on the left outer wall of the limiting post 55. The downward movement of the limiting post 55 is released by setting the inclined arc surface 56. A positioning hole 57 is provided on the top inner wall of the lower grip plate 3. The positioning hole 57 provides multiple points of limitation for the limiting post 55.

[0025] Reference Figures 2-4The width of roller 52 is adapted to the width of upper grip plate 2. Roller 52 is tactilely connected to the top outer wall of upper grip plate 2. Frosted pads are fixedly connected to the top and bottom outer walls of adjusting plate 53. The frosted pads increase the friction of the surface of adjusting plate 53 and reduce slippage when gripped. The end of compression spring 54 away from adjusting plate 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of U-shaped frame 51. The compression spring 54 generates a continuous pushing force on adjusting plate 53. The outer wall of the side of the inclined arc surface 56 is coated with... The lubricating oil has several positioning holes 57, which are opened on the top inner wall of the lower grip plate 3. The limiting post 55 is engaged with the inner wall of the inner ring of the positioning hole 57. The semi-ring sleeve 1 is made of PET material. PET has good mechanical properties, and its impact strength is 3 to 5 times that of other film materials. It has good folding resistance, is non-toxic and odorless, and has good hygiene and safety. It can be directly used for food packaging. The upper grip plate 2 is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the semi-ring sleeve 1, and the lower grip plate 3 is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the semi-ring sleeve 1.

[0026] Reference Figures 3-4 The auxiliary mechanism 6 includes a slide 61, which is located on the inner front wall of the semi-ring 1. The slide 61 allows the mechanism to slide on the surface of the lower grip plate 3. An arc-shaped plate 62 is slidably connected to the inner rear wall of the slide 61. A spring column 63 is fixedly connected to the outer top wall of the arc-shaped plate 62. The spring column 63 exerts a certain thrust on the arc-shaped plate 62. A tooth 64 is hinged to the inner front wall of the arc-shaped plate 62. The tooth 64 facilitates the adaptive adjustment of the angle of the plastic caps of different sizes. There are two arc-shaped plates 62, which are symmetrical to each other. There are several spring columns 63. The ends of the spring columns 63 away from the arc-shaped plates 62 are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the semi-ring 1. Rubber is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the tooth 64. The rubber has extremely high elasticity and can produce large deformation on the contact surface, thereby increasing the contact area and friction. In addition, the surface roughness of the rubber is also high, which helps to improve the friction. The thickness of the rubber is three millimeters.

[0027] Working principle: The semi-ring 1 is fitted onto the plastic cap according to its size. Then, the U-shaped frame 51 is pushed, causing the limiting post 55 to move forward. The inclined arc surface 56 of the limiting post 55 contacts the surface of the positioning hole 57, causing the inclined arc surface 56 to press the limiting post 55 downwards. This releases the forward movement limit of the U-shaped frame 51. The movement of the U-shaped frame 51 drives the roller 52 to press the upper grip plate 2 and lower grip plate 3 together, bending and tightening the opening 4 of the semi-ring 1, so that the teeth 64 contact the surface of the plastic cap. Then, the upper grip plate 2 or the lower grip plate 3 is rotated. Plate 3 causes the semi-ring sleeve 1 to rotate, and the rotation of the semi-ring sleeve 1 causes the teeth 64 to rotate and open the plastic cover. At the same time, when using different plastic covers, the teeth 64 adaptively adjust their angle when they are in contact with the surface of the plastic cover because the curvature of the plastic cover is different. This allows multiple teeth 64 to maximize contact with the surface of different plastic cover curvatures. At the same time, when the semi-ring sleeve 1 tightens, the clamping force of the teeth 64 increases and squeezes the arc plate 62. The arc plate 62 squeezes the spring column 63, so that the teeth 64 continuously generate a squeezing and clamping force on the surface of the plastic cover, reducing the possibility of the teeth 64 separating from the surface of the plastic cover and loosening.

[0028] 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. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
