Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a spray can cap feeding mechanism, including a conveying structure 1, a clamping structure 2, and an assembly station 3. The clamping structure 2 is responsible for conveying the spray can cap 4 between the conveying structure 1 and the clamping structure 2. The conveying structure 1 is located on one side of the clamping structure 2, and the assembly station 3 is located on the same axis as the conveying structure 1. The spray can cap 4 includes an opening 41, a body 42, and a handle 43. The opening 41 is fixedly located on the top of the body 42, and the handle 43 is fixedly located on one side of the body 42. The lateral width of the opening 41 is greater than the lateral width of the body 42.

[0021] The conveying structure 1 includes a conveying base 11, a conveying track 12, and a pressure plate 13. The conveying track 12 is fixedly mounted on the conveying base 11 and includes an upper track 121 and a lower track 122, which are connected. The lateral width of the upper track 121 matches the width of the nozzle 41, and the lateral width of the lower track 122 matches the width of the pipe body 42. Since the lateral width of the nozzle 41 is greater than the lateral width of the pipe body 42, the lateral width of the upper track 121 is greater than the lateral width of the lower track 122, preventing the nozzle 41 from falling down when it is hung on the upper track 121. The pressure plate 13 is fixedly mounted above the conveying track 12 and is fixedly connected to one side of the conveying track 12. The pressure plate 13 is used to limit the height of the spray can cap 4 during transport on the conveying track 12. The spray can cap 4 enters the conveying track 12 with the handle 43 facing forward.

[0022] A temporary storage slot 14 is provided at one end of the conveyor track 12 near the assembly station 3. The diameter of the temporary storage slot 14 is smaller than the lateral width of the pipe opening 41. One side of the temporary storage slot 14 is connected to the lower track 122, and the side away from the lower track 122 is provided with a clearance hole 15. The clearance hole 15 is connected to the temporary storage slot 14 so that the handle 43 can enter the clearance hole 15 after the spray can cap 4 enters the temporary storage slot 14. The clearance hole 15 can prevent the spray can cap 4 from shifting position after entering the temporary storage slot 14. When the spray can cap 4 enters the temporary storage slot 14, the pipe opening 41 is hung on the top of the temporary storage slot 14 to facilitate the clamping structure 2 to clamp the spray can cap 4 later. In order to detect whether the spray can cap 4 has reached the temporary storage slot 14, a position sensor 16 is provided on one side of the temporary storage slot 14. In order to improve the conveying efficiency, two conveyor tracks 12 are provided.

[0023] The clamping structure 2 includes a transverse drive element 21, a lifting drive element 22, a clamping seat 23, a transverse seat 24, a lifting seat 25, and a clamping element 26. Both the transverse drive element 21 and the lifting drive element 22 are pneumatic or electric cylinders with linear motion at their output ends. The clamping element 26 is a pneumatic gripper finger. The number of clamping elements 26 is the same as the number of conveying tracks 12. The fixed end of the transverse drive element 21 is fixedly connected to the clamping seat 23, and its output end is fixedly connected to the transverse seat 24. The transverse drive element 21 drives the transverse seat 24 to move laterally at the upper limit of the clamping seat 23. The fixed end of the lifting drive element 22 is fixedly connected to the transverse seat 24, and its output end is fixedly connected to the lifting seat 25. The lifting drive element 22 drives the lifting seat 25 to rise and fall at the upper limit of the transverse seat 24. The clamping element 26 is mounted on the lifting seat 25, and its fixed end is fixedly connected to the lifting seat 25. The transverse drive element 21 and the lifting drive element 22 drive the clamping seat 23 and the clamping element 26 to move back and forth between the temporary storage slot 14 and the assembly station 3.

[0024] Assembly station 3 includes an assembly slot 31, a placement slot 32, and an installation slot 33. The installation slot 33 is fixedly located at the center of the assembly slot 31. The openings of both the placement slot 32 and the installation slot 33 face upwards. The placement slot 32, the installation slot 33, and the conveyor track 12 are aligned on the same straight line. Limiting protrusions are provided on opposite sides of the assembly slot 31, and the placement slot 32 is positioned on one of these limiting protrusions. The wall of the placement slot 32 has a Y-shaped adapting groove 34, which connects the placement slot 32 and the assembly slot 31. The diameter of the placement slot 32 is smaller than the lateral width of the nozzle 41 of the spray can cap 4. When the clamping structure 2 places the spray can cap 4 into the placement slot 32, due to the shape of the adapting groove 34, even if the direction of the spray can cap 4 is off, the handle 43 of the spray can cap 4 will fall along the wall of the adapting groove 34. The adapting groove 34 serves to limit the direction of the spray can cap 4.

[0025] The mounting slot 33 has three evenly distributed grooves at its opening, and the groove walls are smoothly connected to the opening.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
