[0024] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] It should be noted that the following embodiments can be combined where there is no conflict.

[0026] Adjusting a capping machine typically involves performing maintenance tasks on the capping components, such as adjusting the pressure of the thread cutter and skirt cutter, adjusting the spring tension, and lubricating the equipment, while the capping components are detached from the main body of the capping machine.

[0027] In the automated packaging industry, capping machines face challenges during maintenance due to a lack of specialized tools for inspecting capping components. This prevents these components from being inspected independently of the machine. Consequently, maintenance requires downtime and entry of personnel, which is both inefficient and poses safety risks.

[0028] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a device for adjusting the capping component in a capping machine. This device allows the capping component to be detached from the main body of the capping machine. Maintenance work such as pressure adjustment of the thread cutter and skirt cutter, spring tension adjustment, and equipment lubrication of the capping component can be performed on this device. This reduces the number of times personnel need to enter the equipment, reduces related safety hazards, shortens the equipment maintenance and debugging cycle, reduces equipment downtime, and improves enterprise production efficiency, as detailed below.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, the capping component 10 includes a rotating shaft 11, and the upper part of the capping component 10 can be fixed by fixing the rotating shaft 11.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a device for adjusting a capping component 10 in a capping machine, including a support frame mechanism 1 for fixing the capping component 10. Structural guard plates 3 are provided on both sides of the support frame mechanism 1, and the structural guard plates 3 and the support frame mechanism 1 enclose an adjustment space 13. The entrance and exit of the adjustment space 13 is a single-sided opening formed by the structural guard plates 3 and the support frame mechanism 1, and the capping component 10 is installed in the adjustment space 13 through the single-sided opening. Specifically, the locking member 6 can be used to engage and lock the rotating shaft 11.

[0031] In some embodiments, the support frame mechanism 1 further includes structural guard plates 3 located on both sides of the debugging space 13, with the two structural guard plates 3 creating an opening on one side of the debugging space 13. The screw cap component 10 is installed into the debugging space 13 through the opening on one side. The structural guard plates 3 are triangular, trapezoidal, or rectangular. Figure 1 As shown, the structural guard plate 3 is triangular. The triangular structural guard plates 3 on the left and right sides are used to increase the strength and stability of the support frame mechanism 1, and at the same time prevent the side slippage during the operation of fixing the capping component 10, which may cause equipment damage and personnel injury and other safety hazards.

[0032] Furthermore, a clamping mechanism 8 for fixing the capping component 10 is provided near the debugging space 13. After the capping component 10 is installed in the debugging space 13, the clamping mechanism 8 clamps the capping component 10, making the capping component 10 stable and easy to maintain.

[0033] In an embodiment of the utility model, the clamping mechanism 8 includes a locking member 6 for fixing the upper part of the capping component 10 and a positioning member 7 for positioning the bottom of the capping component 10. This utility model fixes the capping component 10 to the support frame mechanism 1 by fixing the upper and lower parts. Figure 1 As can be seen, the support frame mechanism 1 is a back plate structure. The back plate is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant steel plate material, which has sufficient rigidity and stability.

[0034] In one embodiment, the locking member 6 includes a locking ring 9 and a set screw 5. The tightness of the locking ring is adjusted by tightening the set screw 5 to fix the rotating shaft. In use, the set screw 5 (i.e., the locking switch) is turned to place the upper end of the capping component 10 into the locking ring 9, and then the set screw 5 is tightened. The locking ring 9 retracts, thereby fixing the rotating shaft 11 of the capping component 10.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, to facilitate the insertion of the rotating shaft 11 of the capping component 10 into the locking member 6, this invention adds a hinge 12 to the locking ring body. The hinge 12 supports the opening and closing of the locking ring body. Specifically, the locking ring 9 can be opened around the hinge 12 first, the rotating shaft 11 of the capping component 10 can be inserted into the locking ring 9, then the locking ring 9 can be fastened to the outside of the rotating shaft 11, and then the set screw 5 can be inserted to lock the locking ring 9.

[0036] In another embodiment, a retaining ring can be used instead of the locking ring 9 and the set screw 5 to reduce the time required to fix the capping component 10. In this embodiment, the locking component 6 is an open retaining ring, or multiple open retaining rings arranged sequentially along the support frame. The open retaining ring is a replaceable structure with an opening, similar to... Figure 1 The locking ring in the middle is without a set screw 5 and only has an opening. The open retaining ring is a known structure and will not be described in detail here. In use, the rotating shaft of the capping component 10 can be inserted into the retaining ring to fix the upper part of the capping component 10.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the locking member 6 is fixed to the support frame mechanism 1. To better accommodate the screw cap component 10, the locking member 6 can be rotated relative to the support frame mechanism 1. Specifically, the locking member 6 can be fixedly connected to the support frame mechanism 1 using a threaded connection; the locking member 6 is provided with a stud, and the support frame mechanism 1 is provided with a nut. The locking member 6 can be rotated to a vertical position by turning it. Figure 1 and Figure 2 (The middle part is horizontal), so the capping component 10 is less likely to bump into the locking component 6; based on this, the capping component 10 can be adapted to different heights, thus making it easier to install.

[0038] Furthermore, the support frame mechanism 1 is provided with a base 2 at its bottom. The base 2 is used to fix the lower end of the capping component 10, ensuring the stability of the capping component 10 during operation. The base 2 is detachably provided at the bottom of the support frame mechanism 1, such as by fixing it to the support frame mechanism 1 with bolts or other means. The detachable nature allows for easy replacement of the entire base 2 to accommodate capping components 10 of other specifications, enhancing its adaptability to capping components 10 of different specifications.

[0039] Based on this utility model, the capping component 10 can be disassembled and repaired independently without shutting down the entire machine, thus reducing equipment downtime. After disassembly and repair, a spare capping component 10 can be used directly, allowing the capping machine to resume normal operation and the production line to continue production, thereby improving production line efficiency.

[0040] The positioning element 7 is provided on the upper surface of the base 2. The positioning element 7 is a groove formed on the base 2, specifically a circular concave ring. The groove is adapted to the bottom of the capping component 10. During installation, the bottom of the capping component 10 is placed in the groove to complete the positioning of the capping component 10. Then, the locking element 6 is used to fix the rotating shaft.

[0041] In summary, this utility model externally fixes and inspects the capping component 10, avoiding the need for personnel to enter the equipment for maintenance and reducing safety risks. Based on this utility model, equipment downtime can be reduced and maintenance efficiency can be improved, which helps to reduce enterprise production costs.

[0042] In other embodiments, the positioning member 7 is provided on the upper part of the base 2. The positioning member 7 is an annular groove formed on the base 2, and the annular groove is adapted to the bottom of the cap screw-on component 10. During installation, the bottom of the cap screw-on component 10 is placed in the annular groove. The annular groove is adapted to the bottom of the cap screw-on component 10.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the base 2 is provided with a fixing clip 4 for fixed connection with a bench vise, which facilitates the fixing of the device described in this utility model onto a bench vise or other fixing tools. The fixing clip 4 and the base 2 are an integral structure, which can stabilize the entire device.

[0044] After fixing the device provided by this utility model, when the capping component 10 needs adjustment, it is removed from the capping machine. The removed capping component 10 is transferred to the device provided by this utility model, and placed on the clamping mechanism 8. The lower end of the capping component 10 is fixed in the circular groove of the base 2, and the upper end is fixed and locked by the positioning clamping mechanism 8. The lower end of the fixed base 2 is designed with a fixing strip 4 for fixing in a vise, facilitating the fixing of the device provided by this utility model onto a vise or other fixing tools. The fixed capping component 10 is inspected, and the device and capping component 10 are fixed to the vise by the fixing strip 4 on the clamp, facilitating subsequent adjustment and maintenance. The device provided by this utility model fixes the capping component 10, providing a stable force. Maintenance workers can use a tension gauge to adjust the pressure of thread cutters and skirt cutters, adjust spring tension, and perform other maintenance work. After the maintenance work is completed, the clamping mechanism 8 is opened, and the capping component 10 is removed.

[0045] The device provided by this utility model serves as a maintenance and fixing fixture for the capping component 10 in a capping machine. It solves the problem of inconvenient maintenance of the capping component 10 in the prior art, improves maintenance efficiency and safety, and reduces production costs.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
