Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to automatic packaging technical field, concretely relates to a before washing system of capping. BACKGROUND

[0002] On the automatic filling production line of wine bottles, the bottle cap needs to be cleaned before being pressed on the bottle. For example, the patent document CN117505402A discloses a bottle cap cleaning device and system, which uses a clamping mechanism to clean the bottle cap during the clamping and conveying process.

[0003] When cleaning the bottle cap, it is usually done in a cap washing room. The bottle cap is first taken out of the box by a mechanical hand, and then the bottle cap is transported to the cleaning equipment one by one by the bottle cap conveying device. For example, the patent document CN117775721A discloses a cap unloading production line and cap unloading method. After the bottle cap is taken out of the cap box by the mechanical hand, the bottle cap is conveyed to the cleaning device by the conveying belt.

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned scheme, the bottle cap is conveyed on the conveying belt. During the conveying process, the bottle cap slides on the conveying belt to change the track, which inevitably causes wear to the bottle cap. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the defect that the bottle cap is easily worn during the conveying process in the cap washing room, thereby providing a cap washing system before capping.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problem, the utility model provides a cap washing system before capping, which comprises:

[0007] A bottle cap unloading mechanical hand, which is used to take out the bottle cap from the bottle cap turnover box;

[0008] A bottle cap conveying device having a plurality of supporting grooves for supporting a plurality of bottle caps arranged in parallel and at intervals, the supporting grooves being used to receive the bottle caps unloaded from the bottle cap unloading mechanical hand, the bottle cap conveying device being used to step convey the plurality of bottle caps by moving the supporting grooves, the bottle cap conveying device having a plurality of guide plates arranged vertically in parallel and at intervals, the supporting grooves being formed between adjacent two guide plates, the supporting grooves having two symmetrically arranged supporting ribs on the inner wall of the guide plate, the supporting ribs extending along the length direction of the supporting groove;

[0009] A cap feeding device arranged at the end of the bottle cap conveying device, which is used to output the bottle cap at the end of the bottle cap conveying device;

[0010] The bottle cap cleaning device has a conveying inlet for receiving the bottle caps output from the end of the bottle cap conveying device.

[0011] Optionally, the conveying inlet of the bottle cap cleaning device is opposite to the opening of one end of the supporting groove.

[0012] Optionally, the cap feeding device has a push plate capable of sliding along the length direction of the supporting groove, and the push plate is installed on the lifting device.

[0013] Optionally, the guide plate is arranged on a conveying belt, and the bottle caps are stepwise conveyed along the conveying belt.

[0014] Optionally, the conveying direction of the conveying belt is perpendicular to the length direction of the supporting groove.

[0015] Optionally, the guide plate has an upper half and a lower half, the lower half is vertically arranged, and the upper half is connected above the lower half and extends upwardly and away from the supporting groove.

[0016] Optionally, the upper half of the guide plate is in an arc structure.

[0017] Optionally, the utility model also comprises a turnover box lifting device for lifting a bottle cap turnover box, and the turnover box lifting device has a lifting layer cooperating with the bottle cap unloading robot to take out the bottle caps in the bottle cap turnover box of the lifting layer.

[0018] Optionally, the utility model also comprises a turnover box conveying mechanism for receiving the bottle cap turnover box lifted from the turnover box lifting device and conveying the bottle cap turnover box.

[0019] Optionally, the turnover box conveying mechanism has two conveying lines arranged side by side.

[0020] The technical scheme of the utility model has the following advantages:

[0021] 1. The cap washing system before capping provided by the utility model takes out the bottle caps from the bottle cap turnover box, supports the bottle caps through the supporting groove on the bottle cap conveying device, stepwise conveys the bottle caps by moving the supporting groove, and does not rub the bottle caps on the supporting groove in the conveying process, then sequentially feeds the bottle caps into the bottle cap cleaning device through the cap feeding device to clean the bottle caps, thereby solving the problem of friction between the existing bottle caps and the conveying belt in the conveying process.

[0022] 2. The cap washing system before capping provided by this utility model has openings at both ends of the support groove. The conveying inlet of the cap washing device is opposite to the opening at one end of the support groove. Thus, by pushing the cap feeding device, the caps in the support groove can be pushed from the end away from the cap washing device to the end close to the cap washing device, and then enter the cap washing device. Since the length of the support groove is small, friction on the caps can be reduced, and cap wear problems can be avoided.

[0023] 3. The capping and pre-washing system provided by this utility model supports the bottle cap at the bottom of the support groove by means of support ribs. Specifically, the support ribs are set on the inner wall of the guide plate and extend towards the length direction of the support groove, so that the support ribs support the two sides of the bottom of the bottle cap. In this way, when the bottle cap is driven to be sent out along the length direction of the support groove, the wear between the support and the bottle cap can be reduced, thereby protecting the bottle cap.

Figure 2As shown in the drawings, in the embodiment, the cover feeding device 4 has a push plate 7 capable of sliding along the length direction of the holding groove 3, and the push plate 7 is installed on the lifting device. That is, in the embodiment, the push plate 7 can extend into the holding groove 3 from the upper end to the lower end under the driving of the lifting device, and then move along the holding groove 3 under the action of the sliding driving device, so as to output the plurality of bottle caps in the holding groove 3 from the other end opening of the holding groove 3 in sequence. In this way, all the bottle caps in the holding groove 3 can be reliably pushed out. Of course, the above description is not restrictive, and in some alternative embodiments, the cover feeding device 4 can also adopt other forms, for example, the bottle caps in the holding groove 3 can be sequentially blown out by using a pneumatic blowing method.

[0042] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 , Figure 3 In the embodiment, the bottle cap conveying device 2 has a plurality of guide plates 8 arranged vertically and in parallel, and the holding groove 3 is formed between any two adjacent guide plates 8.
