Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of mead production equipment, and in particular to an automatic capping device for mead bottles. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of mead, bottle capping is a crucial step. Traditionally, mead bottle capping is mostly done manually. This method is not only inefficient and difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production, but also suffers from poor stability and consistency in manual operation. Problems such as uneven capping force and insecure cap installation are common, which in turn affect the packaging quality and sealing of the mead, leading to leakage and spoilage during storage and transportation.
[0003] Although some automatic capping equipment has appeared on the market, existing automatic capping equipment usually suffers from complex structure and high cost. Moreover, most of them are designed for general bottle types and lack specific design for the characteristics of mead bottles. During the capping process, they cannot properly position and protect the mead bottles, which can easily cause bottle damage. At the same time, the accuracy and effect of capping need to be improved, making it difficult to meet the needs of mead producers for efficient and high-quality capping. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the problems of low efficiency, unstable quality, and poor equipment specificity in the capping of mead bottles in the existing technology, and provides an automatic capping device for mead bottles.
[0005] The objective of this utility model is mainly achieved through the following solution:
[0006] An automatic capping device for mead bottles includes a frame. A telescopic assembly is vertically mounted on the upper front side of the frame, and a capping plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic assembly. A bottling base is provided on the lower front side of the frame. The bottling base has two sets, left and right, and both sets are mounted on the upper surface of a support plate. A slider is provided on the lower surface of the support plate. A slide rail is also horizontally mounted on the lower front side of the frame. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail. Limiting components are installed at both ends of the slide rail. When the side wall of the left slider contacts the left limiting component, the right bottling base is located directly below the capping plate. When the side wall of the right slider contacts the right limiting component, the left bottling base is located directly below the capping plate.
[0007] Preferably, the limiting component includes a limiting block fixedly installed on the slide rail, and a limiting post is installed on one side of each of the two limiting blocks facing each other.
[0008] Preferably, the upper part of the slide rail has a T-shaped structure, and the bottom of the slider has a groove that matches the upper part of the slide rail.
[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the bottling base is provided with a plurality of placement slots evenly distributed along its length, the inner wall of the placement slot is provided with a ring of placement cylinders, and the top of the placement cylinders is provided with a ring of first guide portions.
[0010] Preferably, the lower surface of the cover plate is provided with a cover groove corresponding to the placement groove along its length direction, and a second guide portion is provided at the bottom of the cover groove.
[0011] Preferably, a buffer layer is provided at the bottom of the placement tube.
[0012] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0013] (1) By setting two bottle-assembly bases on the left and right sides, as well as a sliding support plate and a slider, and with the help of a slide rail and a limiting component, the two bottle-assembly bases can be alternately capped.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the implementation of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments, and any modifications and / or alterations made to this utility model will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0022] Example 1:
[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a technical solution: an automatic capping device for honey wine bottles, including a frame 1. A telescopic component 2 is vertically fixed to the upper front side of the frame 1 by bolts. The telescopic end of the telescopic component 2 is fixedly connected to a capping plate 3 by bolts. A bottle-filling base 4 is provided on the lower front side of the frame 1. The bottle-filling base 4 has two sets, left and right, and both sets of bottle-filling base 4 are bolted to the upper surface of a support plate 5. A slider 6 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the support plate 5. A slide rail 7 is also horizontally installed on the lower front side of the frame 1 by bolts. The slider 6 is slidably connected to the slide rail 7. Limiting components are installed at both ends of the slide rail 7. When the side wall of the left slider 6 contacts the left limiting component, the right bottle-filling base 4 is located directly below the capping plate 3. When the side wall of the right slider 6 contacts the right limiting component, the left bottle-filling base 4 is located directly below the capping plate 3.
[0024] The left and right bottle-assembly bases 4 can move alternately on the slide rails 7 to the bottom of the capping plate 3, achieving uninterrupted capping operation. When one set of bottle-assembly bases 4 is in the capping station, the other set can be loaded and unloaded simultaneously, significantly improving production efficiency. For example, when capping is being performed on the right bottle-assembly base 4, the operator or automated equipment can place the bottle and cap on the left bottle-assembly base 4. After capping is completed, the station can be switched simply by sliding the support plate 5, reducing equipment waiting time and increasing capping efficiency by about 50% compared to traditional single-station equipment. At the same time, the limiting components ensure accurate positioning of the bottle-assembly base 4, guaranteeing the consistency of the capping position and avoiding poor capping due to positional deviation.
[0025] In this application, the telescopic component 2 adopts a push rod motor, a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. Its specific structure and working principle can be derived from the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0026] Example 2:
[0027] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model discloses another technical solution: an automatic capping device for honey wine bottles. The difference from embodiment 1 is that the limiting component includes a limiting block 8 that is fixedly installed on the slide rail 7 by bolts. A horizontally arranged limiting post 9 is glued to one side of each of the two limiting blocks 8. The limiting post 9 can be made of an elastic material (such as polyurethane), which can absorb impact energy and prevent wear between metal parts, thus extending the service life of the equipment.
[0028] Example 3:
[0029] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model discloses another technical solution: an automatic capping device for honey wine bottles. The difference from embodiment 1 is that the upper part of the slide rail 7 has a T-shaped structure, and the bottom of the slider 6 is provided with a groove 10 that matches the upper part of the slide rail 7. The cooperation between the T-shaped slide rail 7 and the groove 10 forms a stable sliding pair structure that can resist the lateral force generated during the capping process, prevent the bottle base 4 from tilting or shaking during capping, and thus ensure the uniform distribution of the capping force.
[0030] Example 4:
[0031] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, this utility model discloses another technical solution: an automatic capping device for honey wine bottles. The difference from embodiment 1 is that multiple placement slots 11 are evenly provided on the upper surface of the bottle base 4 along its length. In this embodiment, three placement slots 11 are provided. A ring of placement cylinders 12 is inserted into the inner wall of the placement slots 11, and a ring of first guide parts 13 is provided on the top of the placement cylinders 12.
[0032] The combined design of the placement groove 11 and the placement cylinder 12 provides a precise positioning space for the mead bottle, ensuring that the bottle will not shift during the capping process. The inner diameter of the placement cylinder 12 is precisely matched with the outer diameter of the bottle (tolerance controlled within ±0.2mm), which can ensure that the bottle is put in smoothly and provide sufficient support. The first guide part 13 is designed with rounded corners or a conical surface structure, and its inner diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the bottle (about 2-3mm larger). When the bottle is placed, the first guide part 13 can automatically correct the positional deviation of the bottle, so that the bottle is accurately placed into the placement cylinder 12.
[0033] Specifically, the lower surface of the capping plate 3 is provided with a capping groove 14 corresponding to the placement groove 11 along its length direction, and a second guide part 15 is provided at the bottom of the capping groove 14; the corresponding design of the capping groove 14 and the placement groove 11 ensures that the capping plate 3 is accurately aligned with the bottle during the descent process, which significantly reduces the defect rate.
[0034] Specifically, a buffer layer 16 is provided at the bottom of the inner tube 12. The buffer layer 16 is made of elastic materials such as silicone or rubber. During the capping process, the buffer layer 16 can evenly distribute the capping force to prevent excessive local pressure from causing the bottle bottom to deform or crack. In addition, the surface of the buffer layer 16 can be designed with a micro-textured structure to increase the friction with the bottle bottom and further improve the stability of the bottle during the capping process.
[0035] The automatic capping device for mead bottles provided in this application, when in use, first places the mead bottle to be capped in the placement cylinder 12 within the placement groove 11 of the left bottling base 4, and simultaneously places the bottle cap on the bottle. At this time, the right bottling base 4 is in the capping position. The telescopic component 2 is activated, driving the capping plate 3 to move downwards. The capping groove 14 on the lower surface of the capping plate 3 corresponds to the placement groove 11 on the right bottling base 4. With the assistance of the second guide part 15 at the bottom of the capping groove 14, the capping plate 3 caps the bottle... The cap is accurately pressed onto the mead bottle; after the cap is pressed, the telescopic component 2 drives the capping plate 3 to return to its original position. Then, the support plate 5 is manually moved to slide the slider 6 to the left on the slide rail 7. When the side wall of the left slider 6 contacts the left end limit piece, the left bottling base 4 moves to the capping position. At this time, the right bottling base 4 can perform bottle loading and cap placement operations. The above capping process is repeated to realize the alternating work of the two bottling bases 4, thereby continuously and efficiently completing the capping operation of the mead bottle.
[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
