Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the packaging industry, the capping process for soft bottles faces many challenges, especially for the production needs of individual businesses and small and medium-sized enterprises, where existing capping technologies and equipment are clearly inadequate.

[0003] Currently, most individual vendors rely on manual sealing methods for soft bottle packaging. This primitive operating mode is inefficient; the speed of manual capping cannot meet the ever-increasing market demand, greatly limiting the expansion of production scale. For example, in a breakfast shop that makes and sells homemade soy milk in soft bags, the manual sealing speed cannot keep up with the increasing number of customers, affecting the shop's operational efficiency. Moreover, manual operation makes it difficult to guarantee the consistency and stability of the capping, resulting in inconsistent capping quality. Loose caps may occur, leading to leakage of the contents, causing product waste and contaminating the storage and transportation environment; excessive force during sealing may also cause deformation or even breakage of the soft bottle, reducing product quality and appearance, and damaging brand reputation.

[0004] Furthermore, in actual production, flexible bottles often need to be sealed, such as soft bags containing soy milk and flexible packaging bottles for various sauces. These flexible bottles are made of soft materials and are difficult to securely fix during the sealing process. Traditional paper can and soft bottle cap sealing machines have significant limitations when handling these types of bottles. Because paper cans and soft bottle caps are made of flexible materials, existing capping machines require extreme care during the clamping and fixing process; otherwise, the paper can may deform, the soft bottle cap may be damaged or shifted, thus affecting the sealing effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soft bottle capping machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A soft bottle capping machine includes a fixing mechanism and a capping mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes a fixed base, which provides a stable support foundation for the entire fixing mechanism. A support frame is mounted on the top surface of the fixed base for supporting and fixing other components. A fixing element is mounted on the top surface of the fixed base for clamping the neck of the soft bottle. Specifically, the fixing element includes a support plate mounted on the top surface of the support frame, which supports the bottom of the soft bottle and prevents it from shaking or tipping over during the capping process. A pair of fixing plates are mounted on the top surface of the support plate for positioning and auxiliary fixing. A first clamp is mounted on the side of one of the fixing plates, and a second clamp is elastically connected to the other fixing plate. Both the first and second clamps have arc-shaped grooves at their adjacent ends. The arc-shaped grooves are designed to fit the shape of the soft bottle neck, allowing for better contact with the neck, increasing the contact area, and improving clamping stability. Simultaneously, the second clamp slides within the fixing plate, and a limit plate is mounted on the other end of the second clamp. A spring connects the limit plate and the fixing plate. The elasticity of the spring allows the second caliper to adaptively adjust according to the thickness of the bottle neck, ensuring versatility for different bottle sizes while providing appropriate clamping force to prevent bottle deformation due to excessive clamping force or insecure bottle fixation due to insufficient clamping force.

[0009] Furthermore, the sealing mechanism includes a fixed box mounted on the side of the support frame, which houses and protects internal components such as the drive unit. The drive unit is installed inside the fixed box, and the sealing mechanism also includes an adsorption component. The drive unit drives the adsorption component to rotate and move vertically simultaneously, allowing the adsorption component to adsorb the bottle cap. The drive unit includes a threaded rod, which is threadedly connected to the bottom of the fixed box, enabling the threaded rod to rotate upwards or downwards via threaded transmission. A sliding plate slides inside the fixed box, with the threaded rod mounted on the bottom surface of the sliding plate. A motor is mounted on the top surface of the sliding plate, and the motor's output is connected to the threaded rod via a transmission connection. The motor provides power for the rotation of the threaded rod. By controlling the motor's forward and reverse rotation and speed, the movement of the threaded rod can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving precise movement control of the adsorption component. A pair of limiting strips are installed on the inner wall of the fixed box, and a pair of limiting grooves are formed on the side of the sliding plate. The limiting strips slide within the limiting grooves. The cooperation of the limiting strips and limiting grooves prevents the sliding plate from shifting or rotating during movement, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the threaded rod's movement. The side of the fixing box is provided with several heat dissipation slots, which can effectively dissipate the heat generated by the motor and other components during operation, and avoid affecting the normal operation and service life of the equipment due to excessive temperature.

[0010] Furthermore, the adsorption component includes an air slip ring installed at the bottom end of the threaded rod. The mover of the air slip ring is connected to the threaded rod, and the air slip ring ensures the stability of gas transmission during the rotation and descent of the threaded rod. The mover of the air slip ring is also connected to a suction cup. A vacuum pump is installed on the side of the fixing box, and a conduit connects the output end of the vacuum pump to the stator of the air slip ring. The vacuum pump provides negative pressure to the suction cup through the conduit and the air slip ring, enabling the suction cup to firmly adsorb the bottle cap. During the capping process, after the suction cup adsorbs the bottle cap, as the threaded rod rotates and descends, it accurately screws and presses the bottle cap onto the neck of the soft bottle, completing the capping operation.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: This soft bottle capping machine can stably and adaptively clamp the necks of soft bottles of different specifications, preventing deformation or displacement of the bottles during the capping process. The coordinated work of the driving component and the suction component in the capping mechanism achieves precise adsorption and installation of the bottle caps, improving the efficiency and quality of capping. Simultaneously, the heat dissipation design of the capping mechanism and the rational layout of each component ensure stable operation and a long service life of the equipment, effectively solving the problems existing in current soft bottle capping technologies and meeting the needs of individual businesses and small and medium-sized enterprises for efficient and high-quality soft bottle capping.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a soft bottle capping machine, including a fixing mechanism 100 and a capping mechanism 200.

[0018] As an embodiment of the present invention, the fixing mechanism 100 further includes a fixing base 1001, which provides a stable support foundation for the entire fixing mechanism. A support frame 1002 is mounted on the top surface of the fixing base 1001 for supporting and fixing other components. A fixing member is mounted on the top surface of the fixing base 1001 for clamping the neck of the soft bottle. Specifically, the fixing member includes a support plate 1003 mounted on the top surface of the support frame 1002. The support plate 1003 can support the bottom of the soft bottle and prevent the soft bottle from shaking or tipping over during the capping process. A pair of fixing plates 1004 are mounted on the top surface of the support plate 1003 for positioning and auxiliary fixing. A first clamp 1005 is mounted on the side of one of the fixing plates 1004, and a second clamp 1006 is elastically connected to the other fixing plate 1004. The first clamp 1005 and the second clamp 1006 are both provided with arc-shaped grooves at their adjacent ends. The arc-shaped groove design is adapted to the shape of the soft bottle neck, allowing for a better fit, increasing the contact area, and improving clamping stability. Simultaneously, the second clamp 1006 slides within the fixing plate 1004. A limiting plate 1007 is installed at the other end of the second clamp 1006, and a spring 1008 connects the limiting plate 1007 and the fixing plate 1004. The elasticity of the spring 1008 allows the second clamp 1006 to adaptively adjust according to the thickness of the soft bottle neck, ensuring versatility for different bottle sizes while providing appropriate clamping force to prevent deformation due to excessive clamping force or insecure clamping force.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the sealing mechanism 200 further includes a fixed box 2001 mounted on the side of the support frame 1002. The fixed box 2001 is used to accommodate and protect internal components such as the driving component. The driving component is installed inside the fixed box 2001. The sealing mechanism 200 also includes an adsorption component. The driving component drives the adsorption component to rotate and move vertically simultaneously, allowing the adsorption component to adsorb the bottle cap. The driving component includes a threaded rod 2006, which is threadedly engaged with the bottom of the fixed box 2001, enabling the threaded rod 2006 to rotate upwards or downwards via threaded transmission. A sliding plate 2004 slides inside the fixed box 2001. The threaded rod 2006 is mounted on the bottom surface of the sliding plate 2004, and a motor 2005 is mounted on the top surface of the sliding plate 2004. The output end of the motor 2005 is connected to the threaded rod 2006 via a transmission connection. Motor 2005 provides power for the rotation of threaded rod 2006. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation and speed of motor 2005, the movement of threaded rod 2006 can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving precise movement control of the adsorption component. A pair of limiting strips 2003 are installed on the inner wall of the fixing box 2001, and a pair of limiting grooves are opened on the side of the slide plate 2004, within which the limiting strips 2003 slide. The cooperation between the limiting strips 2003 and the limiting grooves prevents the slide plate 2004 from shifting or rotating during movement, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the threaded rod 2006's movement. Several heat dissipation slots 2002 are opened on the side of the fixing box 2001. These slots effectively dissipate heat generated by components such as motor 2005 during operation, preventing excessive temperature from affecting the normal operation and service life of the equipment.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the adsorption component further includes an air slip ring 2007 installed at the bottom end of the threaded rod 2006. The mover of the air slip ring 2007 is connected to the threaded rod 2006, and the air slip ring 2007 can ensure the stability of gas transmission during the rotation and lifting of the threaded rod 2006. The mover of the air slip ring 2007 is also connected to a suction cup 2008. A vacuum pump 2009 is installed on the side of the fixing box 2001, and a conduit 2010 is connected between the output end of the vacuum pump 2009 and the stator of the air slip ring 2007. The vacuum pump 2009 provides negative pressure to the suction cup 2008 through the conduit 2010 and the air slip ring 2007, enabling the suction cup 2008 to firmly adsorb the bottle cap. During the capping process, after the suction cup 2008 adsorbs the bottle cap, as the threaded rod 2006 rotates and descends, it accurately screws and presses the bottle cap onto the mouth of the soft bottle, completing the capping operation.

[0021] Specifically, the working principle of this soft bottle capping machine is as follows: During use, when the soft bottle to be capped is placed on the tray 1003 of the fixing mechanism 100, the bottle neck will be positioned between the first clamp 1005 and the second clamp 1006. The tray 1003 supports the soft bottle, ensuring its stability during the capping process and preventing it from shaking or tipping over. Since the second clamp 1006 is elastically connected to the fixing plate 1004 via a spring 1008 and can slide within the fixing plate 1004, when the bottle neck is inserted, the neck will squeeze the second clamp 1006, causing it to overcome the spring force of the spring 1008 and slide away from the first clamp 1005. The spring 1008 will generate a reverse spring force, pressing the second clamp 1006 tightly against the bottle neck. The arc-shaped grooves on the first clamp 1005 and the second clamp 1006 interact with the bottle neck. The neck shape is adapted to increase the contact area with the bottle neck, thus achieving adaptive and stable clamping of soft bottle necks of different thicknesses. Simultaneously, the elasticity of the spring 1008 prevents bottle deformation due to excessive clamping force, ensuring the integrity of the bottle during the capping process. The vacuum pump 2009 is activated and connected to the air slip ring 2007 via the conduit 2010. The mover of the air slip ring 2007 is connected to the threaded rod 2006, which in turn connects to the suction cup 2008. When the vacuum pump 2009 operates, a negative pressure is created inside the conduit 2010 and the air slip ring 2007. This negative pressure is transmitted to the suction cup 2008, causing the suction cup 2008 to... 08 can firmly adhere to the bottle cap. The function of the slip ring 2007 is to ensure the stability of gas transmission during the rotation and lifting of the threaded rod 2006, and to prevent the tube from becoming entangled or the gas transmission from being obstructed due to rotation. When the motor 2005 starts, its output end drives the threaded rod 2006 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 2006 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the fixed box 2001, when the threaded rod 2006 rotates, it will move in a straight line along the thread, thereby achieving upward or downward movement. At the same time, the slide plate 2004 slides inside the fixed box 2001. The limiting groove on the side of the slide plate 2004 and the limiting groove on the inner wall of the fixed box 2001 are... The positioning bar 2003 works in conjunction with the sliding plate 2004 to ensure that it can only move in a straight line, preventing it from deviating or rotating during movement, thus ensuring the stable and accurate movement of the threaded rod 2006. The motor 2005 drives the threaded rod 2006 to rotate and descend, causing the suction cup 2008 holding the bottle cap to move synchronously. When the bottle cap approaches the mouth of the soft bottle, under the combined action of rotation and descent, the bottle cap is accurately screwed and pressed onto the mouth of the soft bottle, completing the capping operation. After the capping is completed, the motor 2005 reverses, causing the threaded rod 2006 to rise, and the suction cup 2008 to leave the capped soft bottle, ready for the next capping operation.
