AI Technical Summary
Traditional capping machines struggle to quickly adapt to caps of different diameters when dealing with diverse packaging needs. Furthermore, the limited height adjustment range of the equipment leads to unbalanced pressure control, resulting in variations in product sealing tightness and inconsistency.
The system employs a bevel gear ring and conical gear drive system. The bevel gear ring synchronously drives an array of bevel gear rings to drive the adjustment mechanism, thereby achieving synchronous adjustment of the position and height of the capping machine. Combined with electric push rods and telescopic rods, it ensures the consistency of position and pressure of each set of capping machines.
This improves product consistency, reduces manual labor for operators, avoids accuracy issues caused by individual adjustments, and ensures uniform capping pressure for products in the same batch.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of pharmaceutical packaging, specifically to a spatial position adjustment device for a capping machine. Background Technology
[0002] Capping machines are core equipment in the pharmaceutical packaging field, ensuring the sealing and safety of medicines. They use precise mechanical pressure to press aluminum or plastic caps onto the bottle neck. Utilizing the combined action of the capping head, cutting arm, and cutting blades, the machine achieves a seal through tightening and high-speed rotation, creating a reliable sealing structure that effectively isolates external air, moisture, and microorganisms, ensuring the sterility and stability of medicines during storage and transportation. However, traditional capping machines have significant shortcomings in meeting diverse packaging needs. Horizontal position adjustment typically relies on manual mechanical adjustment, making it difficult to quickly adapt to caps of different diameters. Simultaneously, the limited height adjustment range makes it difficult to flexibly switch between different bottle heights, and pressure imbalances can lead to bottle deformation or cap damage. More significantly, especially with current capping machines often employing multiple sets of circumferentially arranged caps operating simultaneously, the lack of a coordinated adjustment mechanism for each set of cutting blades requires operators to calibrate pressure parameters individually. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to causing variations in sealing tightness within the same batch of products due to uneven pressure across sets, severely compromising product consistency.
[0003] Therefore, this application designs a capping machine spatial position adjustment device that can simultaneously adjust the position and height of multiple capping machines. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a spatial position adjustment device for a capping machine, which aims to solve the aforementioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a spatial position adjustment device for a capping machine, comprising a support, an electric limiting plate, and an array of capping machine bodies; the electric limiting plate is rotatably connected to the support, the capping machine body is slidably connected to the support through an adjustment mechanism, an array of through grooves is provided on the surface of the support, and the adjustment mechanism is slidably connected to the support through the grooves;
[0006] The bracket is equipped with a bevel gear ring, and the adjusting mechanism is equipped with a rotating rod. The end of the rotating rod is equipped with a bevel gear, and a group of bevel gears mesh with the bevel gear ring respectively. The middle part of the rotating rod is connected to the adjusting mechanism with a limit sliding connection. When one group of rotating rods rotates, it drives all the rotating rods to rotate through the bevel gear ring. The rotation of the rotating rods drives the adjusting mechanism and the capping machine body to slide along the slide groove.
[0007] When the bevel gear ring is driven by the bevel gear, it synchronously drives the other array of bevel gear rings, thereby driving the adjustment mechanism to move synchronously along the circumferential diffusion direction. This, in turn, drives the entire capping machine body to move synchronously along the circumferential diffusion direction. By using individual drive to synchronously adjust the position of the capping machine, the inaccuracy caused by individual adjustment is avoided, thereby effectively improving product consistency and effectively reducing the physical labor of operators.
[0008] Furthermore, a limit plate is provided around the electric limit plate, with an inlet and an outlet on the limit plate, and conveyor belts are provided outside both the inlet and outlet. A support frame is provided on the side of the bracket, and the lower end of the bevel gear ring is rotatably connected to the support frame. The bevel gear ring is coaxial with the electric limit plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the adjusting mechanism includes a sliding plate, a receiving groove, a worm, a worm wheel, a rotating handle, and an eccentric handle. The sliding plate is slidably connected to the support via a sliding groove. The receiving groove is located on the side of the sliding plate. Both ends of the worm are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sliding plate via the receiving groove. The middle part of the rotating handle has a limited sliding connection with the inner wall of the worm, allowing the worm to slide while the rotating handle drives the worm to rotate. The rear end of the worm wheel is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sliding plate, and the worm wheel meshes with the worm. One end of the eccentric handle is inserted into the middle of the worm wheel, and the other end of the eccentric handle is hinged to the rotating handle. An auxiliary frame is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support, and the end of the auxiliary frame away from the support is hinged to the end of the rotating handle.
[0010] Furthermore, one set of rotating rods, with its end away from the bevel gear, protrudes from the bracket and connects to the motor output end. The motor is bolted to the outer wall of the bracket. The remaining rotating rods, with their ends away from the bevel gear, are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bracket. One set of sliding plates has an electric push rod inserted into its upper end, with the upper end of the electric push rod connected to the capping machine body. The remaining sliding plates have telescopic tubes inserted into their upper ends, with the upper ends of the telescopic tubes connected to the capping machine body. A telescopic rod is hinged to the upper part of the output end of the electric push rod, with the end of the telescopic rod away from the electric push rod hinged to the upper end of the telescopic tube.
[0011] By using an electric push rod in conjunction with a hinged telescopic rod, when one set of capping machines moves vertically, it drives all the other capping machines to move vertically synchronously. This ensures that the height adjustment of the capping machines is consistent, and thus the pressure of each set of capping machines on the cap is constant. This facilitates capping operations on bottle caps of different heights while further improving product consistency and preventing inconsistent capping pressure among products from the same batch.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, it has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This utility model provides a spatial position adjustment device for a capping machine. When a bevel gear ring is driven by a bevel gear, it synchronously drives the other array of bevel gear rings, thereby causing the adjustment mechanism to move synchronously along the circumferential diffusion direction. This, in turn, causes the entire capping machine body to move synchronously along the circumferential diffusion direction. By using individual drives to synchronously adjust the position of the capping machine, the inaccuracy caused by individual adjustments is avoided, thereby effectively improving product consistency and reducing the physical labor of operators.
[0014] By using an electric push rod in conjunction with a hinged telescopic rod, when one set of capping machines moves vertically, it drives all the other capping machines to move vertically synchronously. This ensures that the height adjustment of the capping machines is consistent, and thus the pressure of each set of capping machines on the cap is constant. This facilitates capping operations on bottle caps of different heights while further improving product consistency and preventing inconsistent capping pressure among products from the same batch.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a spatial position adjustment device for a capping machine, including a bracket 1, an electric limiting plate 2, and an array of capping machine bodies 3; the electric limiting plate 2 is rotatably connected to the bracket 1, and the capping machine body 3 is slidably connected to the bracket 1 through an adjustment mechanism 4; an array of through-grooves 11 are provided on the surface of the bracket 1, and the adjustment mechanism 4 is slidably connected to the bracket 1 through the grooves 11.
[0023] The bracket 1 is equipped with a bevel gear ring 6, the adjusting mechanism 4 is equipped with a rotating rod 5, and the end of the rotating rod 5 is equipped with a bevel gear 7. The array of bevel gears 7 respectively mesh with the bevel gear ring 6. The middle part of the rotating rod 5 is connected to the adjusting mechanism 4 with a limit. When one set of rotating rods 5 rotates, it drives all the rotating rods 5 to rotate through the bevel gear ring 6. The rotation of the rotating rods 5 drives the adjusting mechanism 4 and the capping machine body 3 to slide along the slide groove 11.
[0024] See Figure 1 The electric limiting plate 2 is equipped with a limiting plate 21 on its periphery. The limiting plate 21 has an inlet 211 and an outlet 212. Both the inlet 211 and the outlet 212 are equipped with conveyor belts. The bottle with the cap is fed into the limiting groove of the electric limiting plate 2 via the conveyor belt. Then, as the electric limiting plate 2 rotates, it rotates to the lower end of the capping machine body 3 under the limitation of the limiting plate 21 and stops. After the capping machine completes the capping operation, the electric limiting plate 2 continues to rotate, driving the bottle from the outlet 212 into the conveyor belt for the next process.
[0025] See Figure 2 A support frame 12 is provided on the side of the bracket 1. The lower end of the bevel gear ring 6 is rotatably connected to the support frame 12. The bevel gear ring 6 is coaxial with the electric limit plate 2. The middle part of the bevel gear ring 6 is hollow, which facilitates the connection between the electric limit plate 21 and the drive motor 47. A rack that meshes with the bevel gear 7 is provided on the upper circumference of the bevel gear ring 6.
[0026] As another embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the adjusting mechanism 4 includes a sliding plate 41, a receiving groove 42, a worm 43, a worm wheel 44, a rotating handle 45, and an eccentric handle 46. The sliding plate 41 is slidably connected to the bracket 1 through a sliding groove 11. The receiving groove 42 is opened on the side of the sliding plate 41. The two ends of the worm 43 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sliding plate 41 through the receiving groove 42. The middle part of the rotating rod 5 has a limited sliding connection with the inner wall of the worm 43, so that the worm 43 can slide while the rotating rod 5 drives the worm 43 to rotate. The rear end of the worm wheel 44 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sliding plate 41, and the worm wheel 44 meshes with the worm 43. One end of the eccentric handle 46 is inserted into the middle of the worm wheel 44, and the other end of the eccentric handle 46 is hinged to the rotating handle 45.
[0027] The receiving groove 42 has a two-section structure. The upper section is a rectangular structure to accommodate the worm 43, and the lower section is a cylindrical structure to accommodate the worm wheel 44. The receiving grooves 42 at the upper and lower ends are connected to each other. The upper receiving groove 42 also has holes on both sides for the rotating rod 5 to pass through. The rotational connection between the worm 43 and the receiving groove 42 is equipped with a certain damping. The structure of driving the worm wheel 44 to rotate through the worm 43 can realize the self-locking of the device. Furthermore, a rotating connecting rod can be set at the connection of the bevel gear 7 to the inner wall of the machine body to enhance the stability of the device.
[0028] See Figures 2 to 4 As shown, an auxiliary frame 13 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bracket 1, and the end of the auxiliary frame 13 away from the bracket 1 is hinged to the end of the rotating handle 45.
[0029] When a certain rotating rod 5 rotates, the rotating rod 5 drives the bevel gear 7 to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the bevel gear ring 6 to rotate. The rotation of the bevel gear ring 6 drives all the bevel gears 7 to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives all the rotating rods 5 to rotate.
[0030] The rotation of the rotating rod 5 drives the worm gear 43 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 44 to rotate. As the worm wheel 44 rotates, the eccentric handle 46 undergoes circular motion, which in turn pushes itself away from or pulls it closer to the auxiliary rod through the limiting position of the rotating handle 45. Finally, it drives the sliding plate 41 to slide along the direction of the slide groove 11, so as to synchronously change the position of the entire capping machine body 3.
[0031] The sliding connection between the rotating rod 5 and the inner wall of the worm gear 44 can be in the form of a slider and a groove, so that the worm 43 can slide along the direction of the rotating rod 5 while being driven by the rotating rod 5 to rotate synchronously.
[0032] See Figure 2One set of rotating rods 5, with one end away from the bevel gear 7, extends out of the bracket 1 and is plugged into the output end of the motor 47. The motor 47 is bolted to the outer wall of the bracket 1. The other rotating rods 5, with one end away from the bevel gear 7, are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bracket 1. The motor 47 drives one set of rotating rods 5 to rotate. Alternatively, the output end of the motor 47 can be connected to the bevel gear, thereby driving all the bevel gears 7 and the rotating rods 5 to rotate through the rotation of the bevel gear.
[0033] As another embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, an electric push rod 8 is inserted into the upper end of one set of sliding plates 41, and the upper end of the electric push rod 8 is inserted into the capping machine body 3. The electric push rod 8 can drive the capping machine body 3 to move in the vertical direction, thereby adapting it to the height of the bottle and controlling the capping pressure within the required range.
[0034] See Figure 5 The upper end of the remaining sliding plate 41 is connected to a telescopic tube 9, and the upper end of the telescopic tube 9 is connected to the body 3 of the capping machine.
[0035] See Figure 5 A telescopic rod 91 is hinged to the upper part of the output end of the electric push rod 8. The end of the telescopic rod 91 away from the electric push rod 8 is hinged to the upper end of the telescopic tube 9. The hinges of the telescopic rod 91, the telescopic tube 9, and the electric push rod 8 are all horizontal, allowing the telescopic rod 91 to rotate to a certain extent in the horizontal direction. When the electric push rod 8 pushes the capping machine body 3 to move, the telescopic tube 9 is simultaneously extended and retracted through the telescopic rod 91, so that the entire capping machine body 3 is at the same height. The telescopic rod 91 and the hinge settings allow this linkage to adapt to the changes in spacing and angle caused by the positional changes of the sliding plate 41 during sliding.
[0036] Working principle: When the position of the capping machine needs to be adjusted, the starting motor 47 drives a set of rotating rods 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the bevel gears 7 to rotate synchronously, driving the bevel gear ring 6 to rotate. The rotation of the bevel gear ring 6 drives all the bevel gears 7 to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives all the rotating rods 5 to rotate, driving the worm gear 43 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 44 to rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel 44 uses the eccentric handle 46 to push itself away from or pull it closer to the auxiliary rod, and finally drives the sliding plate 41 to slide along the direction of the slide groove 11, so as to synchronously change the position of all the capping machine bodies 3. When the electric push rod 8 pushes the capping machine body 3 to move, the telescopic rod 91 drives the telescopic tube 9 to extend and retract synchronously, so that all the capping machine bodies 3 are at the same height.
[0037] The sliding connection between the rotating rod and the inner wall of the worm gear can be in the form of a slider and a groove, so that the worm can slide along the direction of the rotating rod while being driven to rotate synchronously.
[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
