[0035] The moving component includes a rack 9 and a thin shell 3. The outer side of the thin shell 3 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the feed cylinder 2, and the outer side of the rack 9 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the storage cylinder 10. A motor 4 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the thin shell 3, and a worm gear 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4. A rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected inside the thin shell 3, and a worm wheel 7 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 6. The worm wheel 7 and the worm gear 5 are meshed together. A gear 8 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 6, and the gear 8 and the rack 9 are meshed together.

[0036] Specifically, the workbench 1 supports the entire automatic bottle cap feeding device and provides a mounting base for other components. The feeding cylinder 2 accommodates the storage cylinder 10 and provides space for its sliding. The push port 25 allows bottle caps inside the storage cylinder 10 to pass through for pushing operations. The discharge plate 21 guides the bottle caps pushed out of the push port 25 to slide out of the device, thus achieving feeding. The storage cylinder 10 stores bottle caps, providing storage space. The adjusting and fixing assembly adjusts the position of the placement plate 11 and fixes it inside the storage cylinder 10 according to different bottle cap specifications, achieving adaptation to different bottle cap specifications. The moving assembly adjusts the vertical height of the storage cylinder 10 to meet different feeding needs. The rack 9 and gear... The gear 8 is engaged to convert the rotation of the gear 8 into the vertical movement of the storage cylinder 10. The thin shell 3 is used to protect the internal components such as the motor 4, worm 5, rotating shaft 6, worm wheel 7, and gear 8. The motor 4 serves as a power source to provide power for the movement of the storage cylinder 10. The worm 5 is connected to the output end of the motor 4 and transmits the rotation of the motor 4 to the worm wheel 7. The rotating shaft 6 is used to install the worm wheel 7 and gear 8 and transmits the rotation of the worm wheel 7 to the gear 8. The worm wheel 7 meshes with the worm 5 and converts the rotation of the worm 5 into its own rotation, driving the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. The gear 8 meshes with the rack 9 and converts the rotation of the rotating shaft 6 into the vertical movement of the storage cylinder 10. The pushing assembly is used to push the bottle caps aligned with the bottom of the storage cylinder 10 at the pushing port 25 to achieve automatic feeding.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The adjusting and fixing assembly includes multiple placement plates 11. The outer side of the placement plate 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage cylinder 10. A rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected inside the placement plate 11. Two winding wheels 15 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 12. Two winding ropes 16 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the winding wheels 15. A spring 19 is sleeved on the outer side of the winding ropes 16. A baffle 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the winding rope 16 away from the winding wheel 15. A plug block 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 18. A rotating button 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 12. Two winding grooves 14 are opened inside the storage cylinder 10.

[0038] Specifically, the placement plate 11 is used to place bottle caps. Its outer side can slide on the inner wall of the storage cylinder 10 to adjust its position within the storage cylinder 10, adapting to the layered storage needs of bottle caps of different sizes. The rotating rod 12 is used to mount the winding wheel 15 and rotates under the drive of the rotating button 13, thereby enabling the winding wheel 15 to wind up or release the winding rope 16. The winding wheel 15 is used to wind up and release the winding rope 16, and its rotation changes the length of the winding rope 16, thereby controlling the position of the baffle 18. The winding rope 16 is used to connect the winding wheel 15 and the baffle 18. When the winding wheel 15 rotates, the winding rope 16 drives the baffle 18 to slide in the groove 17 within the placement plate 11. The spring 19 is used to provide elastic force. When the winding wheel 15 releases the winding rope 16... Spring 19 restores its elastic deformation, pushing baffle 18 to slide in the opposite direction, allowing plug 20 to be inserted into a pre-set insertion hole inside storage cylinder 10. When winding wheel 15 winds up winding rope 16, spring 19 is compressed. Baffle 18 is used to install plug 20 and, under the action of winding rope 16 and spring 19, slides along slide groove 17 in placement plate 11 to realize the insertion and release operation of plug 20. Plug 20 is used to insert into the pre-set insertion hole inside storage cylinder 10, fixing placement plate 11 in a suitable position inside storage cylinder 10. Rotation button 13 is used for manual rotation by the operator to drive rotating rod 12 to rotate, realizing the operation of adjusting and fixing components. Winding groove 14 is used to store winding rope 16, providing space for winding and releasing winding rope 16.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 The pushing assembly includes a cylinder 23, which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the top left side of the worktable 1, and a pushing plate 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 23.

[0040] Specifically, cylinder 23 is fixed on the top left side of workbench 1 to provide power for the pushing action, converting gas pressure energy into mechanical energy to drive the pusher plate 24 to move. The pusher plate 24 is connected to the output end of cylinder 23. Under the push of cylinder 23, the bottle cap of storage cylinder 10 aligned with the pusher port 25 is pushed out to realize automatic feeding.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 The outer side of the plug-in block 20 is inserted into the inside of the storage cylinder 10, and the outer side of the plug-in block 20 is slidably connected to the inside of the placement plate 11. One end of the spring 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 17, and the other end of the spring 19 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the baffle 18. The bottom end of the worm gear 5 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the thin shell 3. Multiple support columns 22 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the worktable 1.

[0042] Specifically, the plug-in block 20 is used to fix the placement plate 11 inside the storage cylinder 10, while its outer side slides inside the placement plate 11 to ensure the smoothness of the placement plate 11 when adjusting its position. The spring 19 provides elastic force, and the auxiliary baffle 18 slides in the slide groove 17 to realize the insertion and disengagement operation of the plug-in block 20. The worm gear 5 is used to rotate at the bottom end and connect to the bottom wall of the thin shell 3 to ensure its rotational stability. The support column 22 supports the entire automatic bottle cap feeding device to ensure the stability and reliability of the device.

[0043] Working principle: First, connect the device to the power supply and place the bottle caps into the storage cylinder 10. When the position of the placement plate 11 needs to be adjusted according to the different specifications of the bottle caps, turn the rotating button 13 to drive the rotating rod 12 to rotate. The winding wheel 15 on the rotating rod 12 rotates accordingly, thereby winding the winding rope 16. This pulls the baffle 18 to slide along the slide groove 17 in the placement plate 11 and compresses the spring 19 until the insertion block 20 is completely disengaged from the preset insertion hole inside the storage cylinder 10. At this time, take out the placement plate 11. When it is necessary to fix the placement plate 11, turn the rotating button 13 in the opposite direction. The winding wheel 15 starts to release the winding rope 16. The compressed spring 19 restores its elastic deformation and pushes the baffle 18 to slide in the opposite direction along the slide groove 17, so that the insertion block 20 is inserted into the preset insertion hole inside the storage cylinder 10 again, thereby fixing the placement plate 11 in a suitable position, realizing the layered storage and adaptation of bottle caps of different specifications.

[0044] When motor 4 is started, the worm gear 5 at the output end of motor 4 rotates. Since the worm gear 5 meshes with the worm wheel 7, it drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. The gear 8 fixed on the rotating shaft 6 rotates accordingly. The gear 8 meshes with the rack 9 fixed on the outside of the storage cylinder 10, so that the storage cylinder 10 can slide down the feed cylinder 2 in the vertical direction. When the storage cylinder 10 is adjusted to a suitable height and the bottle cap inside is in place, the cylinder 23 on the top left side of the workbench 1 is started. The output end of the cylinder 23 pushes the pusher plate 24, pushing the bottle cap with the bottom of the storage cylinder 10 aligned with the push port 25 out. The bottle cap slides out along the discharge plate 21, realizing automated feeding, which greatly improves production efficiency, reduces manual operation links, reduces labor costs, and also reduces feeding errors caused by human error.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. 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.
