Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of capping technology, and specifically relates to a capping and sealing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A capping machine is a device used to tighten and loosen caps. The bottle is conveyed to the capping opening by a conveyor belt or other means, and the capping mechanism clamps the cap and rotates it to achieve the capping function.

[0003] Traditional capping machines typically use a fixed-width conveyor line to transport caps. This fixed width makes it difficult to accommodate caps of varying diameters. For smaller caps, an overly wide conveyor line can cause them to wobble or misalign during transport, affecting stability and speed. In severe cases, it can even lead to cap blockages or damage, resulting in uneven accumulation at the end of the conveying process and hindering subsequent capping operations. Conversely, for larger caps, the conveyor line may be too narrow, preventing smooth movement and resulting in low conveying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0014] This utility model provides a capping and sealing machine comprising a feeding mechanism, a first conveyor line, a second conveyor line, and a capping mechanism. The feeding mechanism is used to provide caps with a fixed orientation. The first conveyor line is used to receive and convey the caps provided by the feeding mechanism. The second conveyor line is located below the first conveyor line and is used to convey bottles. The capping mechanism is located at the end of the first conveyor line and is used to rotate and install the caps onto the bottles. The first conveyor line includes a first conveying body, a first side plate, and a second side plate. The first side plate is disposed on one side of the first conveying body.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0027] This utility model provides a can capping and sealing machine, solving the technical problem that the width of the conveyor line in current can capping machines is inconvenient to adjust. The can capping and sealing machine includes a feeding mechanism 1, a first conveyor line 2, a second conveyor line 3, and a capping mechanism 4, wherein:

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the feeding mechanism 1 is used to provide a cap, which is used to cover the bottle body to seal the bottle body.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the first conveyor line 2 is used to receive the cover provided by the feeding mechanism 1 and to transport the received cover. The first conveyor line 2 can be a conveyor belt, conveyor roller or slide, etc.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, the second conveyor line 3 is located below the first conveyor line 2. The second conveyor line 3 is used to convey the bottle body to be capped and sealed. The second conveyor line 3 can be a conveyor belt, conveyor roller or slide, etc.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the capping mechanism 4 is located at the end of the first conveyor line 2. The capping mechanism 4 is used to place the caps on the first conveyor line 2 and the bottles on the second conveyor line 3 below the first conveyor line 2, so that the caps can be installed on the bottles by the capping mechanism 4. The capping machine mechanism can use a steam capping mechanism 4. The steam capping mechanism 4 generates sufficient steam pressure through a steam generator. Before capping, the steam capping mechanism 4 blows high-temperature steam into the bottle mouth to blow away the cold air in the bottle and heat the bottle mouth and cap. The air in the bottle will expand and partially discharge. Then, the capping operation is performed immediately to fix the cap tightly on the bottle mouth. When the steam cools down, the temperature of the air in the bottle also decreases and the volume decreases, thereby forming a certain degree of vacuum.

[0032] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the first conveyor line 2 includes a first conveyor body 21, a first side plate 22, and a second side plate 23. The first conveyor body 21 is used to move the cover along the first conveyor line 2. The first side plate 22 is disposed on either side of the first conveyor body 21 and is used to prevent the cover from moving out of the first conveyor body 21 along the width direction of the first conveyor body 21 towards the first side plate 22. The second side plate 23 is adjustablely disposed on the other side of the first conveyor body 21 along a first direction and is used to prevent the cover from moving out of the first conveyor body 21 along the width direction of the first conveyor body 21 towards the second side plate 23. The first direction is parallel to the first conveyor line 21. In the width direction of the conveying body 21, the second side plate 23 moves along the first direction to adjust the distance between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23. By changing the distance between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23, it can be adapted to cover of different sizes. This ensures that the cover is not too close to the first side plate 22 or the second side plate 23, which would cause excessive friction between the cover and the first side plate 22 or the second side plate 23, preventing the cover from sliding smoothly along the first conveying body 21. It also reduces the problem of the cover moving too slowly or not being placed neatly on the first conveying body 21 when the first conveying body 21 is conveying the cover.

[0033] With the above structure, the capping and sealing machine provided by this utility model, during capping and sealing, has a second conveyor line 3 conveying the bottle to the capping mechanism 4, and a first conveyor line 2 conveying the cap to the capping mechanism 4. The capping mechanism 4 rotates and installs the cap onto the bottle. The cap is conveyed by the first conveyor body 21. The first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 are used to move the cap along the first conveyor line 2. By adjusting the position of the second side plate 23 along the first direction, the distance between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 can be adjusted according to different cap sizes. Therefore, this capping and sealing machine, by changing the position of the second side plate 23, adjusts the width between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 to accommodate caps of different sizes, reducing the possibility of cap shaking or uneven conveying during transport, which could lead to reduced conveying efficiency.

[0034] An optional implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-4 As shown, the first conveyor line 2 also includes a guide rail 24. One end of the guide rail 24 is disposed on the first side plate 22. The guide rail 24 is located below the first conveyor body 21. The second side plate 23 is mounted on the guide rail 24. The first guide rail 24 extends along a first direction. The second side plate 23 moves along the guide rail 24 to adjust the distance between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23. The guide rail 24 is used to guide the second side plate 23 to facilitate the movement of the second side plate 23.

[0035] An optional implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the first conveyor line 2 also includes a first adjusting member 25 and an elastic limiting member 27. The first adjusting member 25 is disposed below the second side plate 23 and extends along a first direction. The first adjusting member 25 has a plurality of limiting holes distributed along the axial direction of the first adjusting member 25. One end of the elastic limiting member 27 is disposed on the side of the second side plate 23 near the first adjusting member 25. The elastic limiting member 27 is inserted into the limiting hole, thereby fixing the second side plate 23 relative to the guide rail 24. The second side plate 23 moves along the first direction, causing the elastic limiting member 27 to move axially along the first adjusting member 25, so that the elastic limiting member 27 is inserted into different limiting holes, thereby fixing the adjusted position of the second side plate 23. Specifically, the elastic limiting member 27 has a fixed end and a telescopic end. The fixed end of the elastic limiting member 27 is installed on the second side plate 23, and the telescopic end of the elastic limiting member 27 is used to insert into the limiting hole to fix the second side plate 23. The elastic limiting member 27 can be a spring pin, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the second side plate 23 is fixed by inserting the spring pin into the limiting hole through the spring push rod.

[0036] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: The first conveying body 21 consists of multiple conveyor belts arranged along the direction of the first side plate 22. The cover is placed on the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt rotates to drive the cover to move. The conveyor belt can also be replaced by other components such as slides for conveying objects.

[0037] An optional implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-4 As shown, there is a gap between adjacent conveyor belts. The two ends of the elastic limiting member 27 pass through the gap and are connected to the first adjusting member 25 and the second side plate 23 respectively. The second side plate 23 is located above the first conveying body 21 and abuts against the first conveying body 21. In this way, when the second side plate 23 moves along the first direction, the elastic limiting member 27 can pass through the gap without affecting the conveying of the cover. The second side plate 23 is located above the first conveying body 21. When the second side plate 23 moves, it is not blocked by the first conveying body 21, thereby making the adjustment range between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 larger.

[0038] An optional implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-4 As shown, the first conveyor line 2 also includes a second adjusting member 26. The second adjusting member 26 has an external thread on its periphery. One end of the second adjusting member 26 is rotatably disposed on the side of the first adjusting member 25 near the first side plate 22. When the second adjusting member 26 rotates, the second side plate 23 does not rotate with the second adjusting member 26. The first side plate 22 has a threaded hole, and the external thread is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole. When the second adjusting member 26 rotates, it moves relative to the first side plate 22, thereby driving the second side plate 23 to move in the first direction, thereby adjusting the distance between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23. The second adjusting member 26 can more precisely adjust the position of the second side plate 23, thereby better adjusting the distance between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 according to the size of the cover. Through the joint cooperation of the first adjusting member 25 and the second adjusting member 26, the distance between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 can be adjusted more quickly according to the size of the cover.

[0039] An optional implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-4As shown, the end of the second adjusting member 26 away from the second side plate 23 extends out of the first side plate 22, so that the second adjusting member 26 can move relative to the first side plate 22 when it rotates, thereby adjusting the position of the second side plate 23. The end of the second adjusting member 26 away from the second side plate 23 is provided with a handle 5. The handle 5 is used to apply force to rotate the second adjusting member 26. At the same time, the handle 5 can also limit the second adjusting member 26 to prevent the second adjusting member 26 from driving the second side plate 23 to move away from the first side plate 22, thereby reducing the second adjusting member 26 from moving into the threaded hole or separating from the first side plate 22, so that the position of the second side plate 23 cannot be adjusted by using the second adjusting member 26.

[0040] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: The feeding mechanism 1 is a vibratory plate. The vibratory plate causes the cover inside the vibratory plate to rise through the spiral track. During the rising process, the cover is screened by the track so that it enters the first conveying body 21 in the required state, thereby arranging the disordered cover parts in an orderly and oriented manner and conveying them to the first conveying body 21.

[0041] In summary, the capping and sealing machine provided by this utility model adjusts the width between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 according to the size of the bottle cap during capping. First, the second side plate 23 is moved, which drives the elastic adjusting member to move along the first direction, so that the elastic adjusting member is inserted into the limiting hole of the first adjusting member 25, thereby restricting the movement of the second side plate 23 along the first direction. Then, the handle 5 is rotated, which drives the second adjusting member 26 to rotate, which drives the second side plate 23 to move along the first direction, thereby adjusting the distance between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23. The second adjusting member 26 adjusts the position of the second side plate 23 more precisely. After the adjustment is completed, the second conveyor line 3 conveys the bottle to the capping mechanism 4, and the first conveyor line 2 conveys the cap to the capping mechanism 4. The capping mechanism 4 rotates and installs the cap onto the bottle. Therefore, this can capping machine can adapt to caps of different sizes by changing the position of the second side plate 23 and adjusting the width between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23, thereby reducing the possibility of cap shaking or poor conveying during transport, which could lead to reduced conveying efficiency.

[0042] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope described in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
