[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 The principles and features of this utility model are described, and the examples given are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0028] A pneumatic cork-pressing device for bottles, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes a support 1, a bottle holder 3 for placing the bottle 4, and a stopper 5 located at the bottle mouth of the bottle 4. A bottle mouth positioning seat 15 is located below the stopper 5 to straighten the bottle 4 and prevent it from tilting, thus avoiding obstruction during the stoppering process. A lifting cylinder 2 is located at the bottom of the bottle holder 3. Driven by the lifting cylinder 2, the bottle holder 3 can move the bottle 4 vertically.
[0029] A feeding assembly 6 is provided above the cork shrinker 5. The feeding assembly 6 is equipped with a feeder 601 for the cork 7 to fall one by one. The inlet of the feeder 601 is connected to a hopper 16 for storing cork 7. The outlet of the feeder 601 is connected to a cork drop pipe 17. A cork feeder 18 is provided between the end of the cork drop pipe 17 and the cork shrinker 5. The internal rotary structure of the feeder 601 is a conventional setting and will not be described in detail.
[0030] Furthermore, one end of the spindle 602 of the feeder 601 is provided with a sprocket 604 that meshes with the sprocket track seat 8. The sprocket 604 is embedded with a one-way bearing 605. Both the cork retractor 5 and the sprocket track seat 8 are connected to the crank-connecting rod assembly 9 driven by the motor 10. The motor 10 is a geared motor. During the operation of the motor 10, the crank-connecting rod assembly 9 drives the sprocket track seat 8 to move up and down. During the up and down movement of the sprocket track seat 8, the meshing sprocket 604 drives the spindle 602 to rotate, thereby realizing the sequential feeding of the cork 7 into the cork drop tube 17. To prevent the cork plug 7 from being compressed into the air due to untimely feeding, a drive handwheel 603 is provided at the other end of the mandrel 602. When starting the machine for the first time, the cork plug 7 is fed into the feeder 601 and fills the cork plug tube 17 by manually cranking the drive handwheel 603. During the process of manually cranking the drive handwheel 603, the sprocket 604 does not rotate due to the action of the one-way bearing 605, thereby realizing the manual and automatic control of the feeder 601. The one-way bearing 605 is a component well known to those skilled in the art, and its working principle will not be described in detail.
[0031] Furthermore, the crank-connecting rod assembly 9 includes a connecting rod 902 and a crank 901 and a slider 903 respectively connected to both ends of the connecting rod 902 via pins. The other end of the crank 901 is connected to the drive shaft of the motor 10. The motor 10 is as follows: Figure 3 When rotated as shown, slider 903 can achieve reciprocating motion in the vertical direction.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the slider 903 includes a first straight section 904 and a stepped section 905. The stepped section 905 includes a second straight section 906, a third straight section 908, and a sloping section 907 that is smoothly connected to both ends of the second straight section 906 and the third straight section 908.
[0033] The bracket 1 is provided with several limiting rollers 11 that contact the first straight section 904, the second straight section 906, and the third straight section 908. During the vertical displacement of the slider 903, the limiting rollers 11 can play a guiding role. The limiting roller 11 that contacts the first straight section 904 has an eccentric shaft at its center, and the limiting rollers 11 that contact the second straight section 906 and the third straight section 908 have a concentric shaft at their centers. By adjusting the angle of the eccentric shaft, the pressure rod 13 can be aligned with the center of the compressed cork 7 when it presses the cork, so that the pressure on the top of the cork 7 is more even and prevents it from breaking.
[0034] The crank-connecting rod assembly 9 also includes a pressure head seat 12 located between the slider 903 and the sprocket track seat 8 and bolted to both the slider 903 and the sprocket track seat 8. The pressure head seat 12 is provided with a stopper rod 13 directly above the bottle 4.
[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 — Figure 8 As shown, the retractor 5 includes a guide seat shroud 501 and a fixed cutter body seat 502 and a movable cutter body seat 503 located within the cavity of the guide seat shroud 501. The fixed cutter body seat 502 is fixedly connected to the guide seat shroud 501 by bolts. Both the fixed cutter body seat 502 and the movable cutter body seat 503 are provided with V-grooves 506 for mounting fixed cutters 505 and movable cutters 504. The two sets of fixed cutters 505 are respectively connected to the fixed cutter body seat 502 and the movable cutter body seat 503 by bolts. The movable cutter 504 is provided with countersunk holes for accommodating guide pins in both the fixed cutter body seat 502 and the movable cutter body seat 503. The countersunk holes are provided with compression springs that contact the end face of the guide pins to facilitate the reset of the movable cutter 504. The two sets of movable cutters 504 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0036] The ear plate seat 507 at the end of the movable cutter body seat 503 away from the V-groove 506 abuts against the stepped portion 905. Two sets of tension springs 14 for resetting the movable cutter body seat 503 are hung at both ends of the ear plate seat 507. The other end of the tension spring 14 is connected to the bracket 1. During the downward movement of the slider 903, the ear plate seat 507 contacts the third straight portion 908, the oblique portion 907 and the second straight portion 906 in sequence. Under the action of the stepped portion 905, the movable cutter body seat 503 continuously moves towards the fixed cutter body seat 502 to complete the compression of the cork 7. During the upward movement of the slider 903, the movable cutter body seat 503 retracts and resets under the action of the tension spring 14.
[0037] The cork feeder 18 includes a cover plate 19, a cork feeder plate 20, and a cork feeder crank 21 located above and bolted to the guide seat enclosure 501. The cover plate 19 has a cork drop hole 22. One end of the cork feeder plate 20 has a cork receiving hole 23 that communicates with the cork drop tube 17, which can be used to receive the cork 7 from the cork drop tube 17. The other end of the cork feeder plate 20 has a first connecting part 25 that is hinged to the cork feeder crank 21. The middle of the cork feeder plate 20 also has a second connecting part 26 that is hinged to the cover plate 19. The other end of the cork feeder crank 21 passes through the side wall of the guide seat enclosure 501 and embeds into the slot 508 of the movable cutter body seat 503, allowing for angular displacement within the slot 508. When the movable cutter body seat 503 moves towards the fixed cutter body seat 502, as... Figure 7 As shown, the feed crank 21 rotates counterclockwise, and the feed crank 21 drives the feed plate 20 to rotate counterclockwise around the second connecting part 26 through the first connecting part 25. The feed hole 23 is aligned with the feed tube 17, and the cork 7 falls into the feed hole 23. When the movable cutter body seat 503 moves away from the fixed cutter body seat 502, as... Figure 7 As shown, the feed crank 21 rotates clockwise, and the feed crank 21 drives the feed plate 20 to rotate clockwise around the second connecting part 26 via the first connecting part 25. The upper surface of the feed plate 20 prevents the cork 7 in the drop tube 17 from falling, and the cork 7 in the receiving hole 23 falls into the drop hole 22. The bottom of the bracket 1 is also equipped with a foot switch 24 to control the start and stop of the equipment, which can connect the power supply and air supply of this device. The application of the foot switch 24 is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail. At the same time, the upper part of the bracket 1 is also equipped with a limit switch to detect the high position of the pressure head seat 12.
[0038] The working principle of this device is as follows: A person manually places the bottle 4 on the bottle holder 3, and manually cranks the drive handwheel 603 to allow the cork 7 to fall through the feeder 601 and fill the cork tube 17. The foot pedal switch 24 connects the air and power supply, and the lifting cylinder 2 lifts the bottle 4 to the bottle mouth positioning seat 15 and presses it firmly. Figure 3 As shown, motor 10 rotates clockwise from 0 to 180°, and slider 903 moves downward. At this time, cork 7 falls into cork retractor 5 via cork feeder 18. Under the action of fixed blade 505 and movable blade 504, it is compressed and then pressed into the bottle mouth 4 by the pressure rod 13. When motor 10 continues to rotate from 180 to 360°, lifting cylinder 2 retracts, slider 903 moves upward, and pressure head seat 12 triggers the limit switch at the high position of bracket 1. At this time, one working cycle is completed. Repeating this process can realize the high-quality, high-efficiency, and automated pressing of cork 7 into bottle 4.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
