Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle cap dust removal technology, specifically a cap-tapping dust removal machine for bottle caps. Background Technology

[0002] Bottle caps are used to seal bottles. Depending on their function, bottle caps come in different shapes and have different opening methods. For example, mineral water bottle caps are round and screwed on; aluminum can caps are ring-shaped and pulled on; meat can caps have no fixed shape and are torn open as they are; syringe bottle caps are made of one piece of glass and require grinding with a grinding wheel before being popped open; and beer bottle caps, a favorite among men, are pried open. Bottle cap designs are incredibly diverse, with designers racking their brains to make them more innovative and attractive. Bottle caps are a crucial part of food and beverage packaging and are the first point of contact between consumers and the product. Bottle caps maintain the airtightness of the contents and also provide anti-theft and security functions, thus they are widely used in bottled products. Therefore, bottle caps are an upstream industry for the food, beverage, wine, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, and are a key product in bottle packaging. Early bottle cap development involved cork, tin crown caps, and screw caps. Today, we continue to develop aluminum long-neck caps, carbonated beverage caps, heat-filled aluminum caps, injection caps, medicine caps, flip-top ring caps, safety claw caps, and plastic bottle caps, among other products.

[0003] In existing bottle cap dust removal technologies, most bottle cap factories currently use manual air gun dust removal, which has low dust removal efficiency. Therefore, in order to improve the dust removal efficiency of bottle caps, dust removal machines are used to replace manual dust removal. However, most of these machines directly blow air into the inside of the bottle cap, which results in poor dust removal effect. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of auxiliary cap twisting tooling component to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The drive component 42 is connected to the material handling component 43 and the cap-tapping component 44, and drives the material handling component 43 and the cap-tapping component 44 to move back and forth on the mounting bracket 41.

[0039] Mounting bracket 41 is installed on workbench 2, serving to support drive assembly 42, material picking assembly 43, and capping assembly 44. Drive assembly 42 is located on one side of mounting bracket 41 and is used to drive material picking assembly 43 and capping assembly 44 to move bottle caps back and forth. Material picking assembly 43 is used to pick up bottle caps from turntable 31 and move them to the bottom of capping assembly 44 for capping and dust removal, and then continue to pick up bottle caps to conveyor belt mechanism 5 for unloading or to complete subsequent processes. Capping assembly 44 is used to knock off the dust on the bottle caps and suck it away.

[0040] The present invention relates to a cap-tapping dust removal machine for bottle caps, which mainly includes a turntable mechanism 3, a material picking mechanism 4, and a conveyor belt mechanism 5. The divider of the turntable mechanism 3 drives the turntable to rotate; the drive component 42 of the material picking mechanism 4 drives the material picking component 43 and the cap-tapping component 44 to move the bottle caps back and forth to achieve cap-tapping dust removal. The material picking component 43 and the cap-tapping component 44 both use suction cups on them to pick up and transport the bottle caps.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The material handling assembly 43 of the dust collector includes a first movable plate 431, a first cylinder 432, a first lifting plate 433, and a suction cup assembly 434. The first cylinder 432 is mounted on the first movable plate 431, and its extension rod is connected to the first lifting plate 433.

The cap-tapping rod 444 is mounted on the second lifting plate 443 and has a spring 446 fitted on it. The suction cup 445 is located at the bottom of the cap-tapping rod 444.

[0042] Specifically, the first movable plate 431 of the material picking component 43 and the second movable plate 441 of the cap-tapping component 44 are connected to the drive component 42, causing them to move back and forth as a whole; the first cylinder 432 drives the suction cup component 434 on the first lifting plate 433 to move up and down to pick up the bottle cap. Both the suction cup component 434 and the cap-tapping rod 44 are equipped with springs to ensure that the bottle cap has a buffering force during the picking and putting process; the second cylinder 442 drives the cap-tapping rod 444 on the second lifting plate 443 to move up and down to tap the bottle cap. At the same time, the second suction cup 445 is set at the bottom of the cap-tapping rod 444 to ensure that both the suction cup component 434 and the cap-tapping rod 444 have the function of adsorbing the suction cup.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The drive assembly 42 of the dust collector includes a motor 421, a drive wheel 422, a driven wheel 423, a timing belt 424, and a movable block 425. The output shaft of the motor 421 is connected to the drive wheel 422. The drive wheel 422 and the driven wheel 423 are connected by the timing belt 424. The movable block 425 is located on the timing belt 424 and drives the movable plate to move back and forth.

[0044] Specifically, the motor 421 of the drive assembly 42 drives the drive wheel 422 to rotate. Since the drive wheel 422 and the driven wheel 423 are connected by a timing belt 424, the motor 421 drives the movable block 425 on the timing belt 424 to move back and forth. The outer side of the movable block 425 is connected to the movable plate of the picking assembly 43 and the knocking assembly 44. Therefore, the drive assembly 42 can drive the picking assembly 43 and the knocking assembly 44 to move back and forth.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The dust removal assembly 32 of the dust collector includes a dust removal mounting base 321, a dust removal cylinder 322, a dust removal hood 323, and a dust removal nozzle 324. The dust removal mounting base 321 has both ends located at the bottom of the workbench 2. The dust removal cylinder 322 is located at the bottom of the dust removal mounting base 321, and the end of its telescopic rod is connected to the bottom of the dust removal hood 323. The dust removal nozzle 324 is located inside the dust removal hood 323, and the bottom of the dust removal hood 323 has an exhaust port 325. The pressing assembly 33 includes a pressing bracket 331, a pressing cylinder 332, and a pressing plate 333. The pressing cylinder 332 is located at the top of the pressing bracket 331, and the pressing plate 333 is connected to the telescopic rod of the pressing cylinder 332, positioned above the bottle cap placement fixture 34.

The dust removal cylinder 322 drives the dust removal hood 323 and the dust removal nozzle 324 to the bottom of the bottle cap placement fixture 34. The dust removal nozzle 324 corresponds to the bottle cap, drawing dust out of the bottle cap through the exhaust port. The pressing component 33 is used to press down the bottle caps within the bottle cap placement fixture 34, preventing the bottle caps from being blown up during dust removal and exhaust.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 1-4 The dust collector also has a dust removal cover 447 below the cap-tapping assembly 44. The dust removal cover 447 is connected to an exhaust fan to remove dust from inside the bottle cap. The dust removal cover 447 is further installed below the cap-tapping assembly 44 to ensure that the dust inside the bottle cap is knocked out and then removed, achieving the best dust removal effect.

[0048] The bottle cap placement fixture 34 is arranged in a circular array of six on the turntable 31, including three loading stations, three dust removal stations, and two dust removal components 32 set at the first and second dust removal stations. The chassis 1 is equipped with a display screen 11, operation buttons 12, an alarm 13, and a cooling fan 14. The loading stations can be manually loaded or loaded by fully automatic equipment; the dust removal stations are used to remove dust from the bottle caps; the display screen 11 on the chassis 1 is used to display the operating status of the dust removal machine; the operation buttons 12 are used to operate and control the operation of the dust removal machine; the alarm 13 is used to sound an alarm and illuminate a warning light when the dust removal machine malfunctions; the cooling fan 14 is used to dissipate heat from the drive component 42, the material picking component 43, and the cap knocking component 44 on the workbench 2.

[0049] The working principle of this knock-on dust removal machine is as follows:

[0050] Bottle caps are fed into the first, second, and third loading stations via the loading fixture 34. When the bottle caps are rotated to the first dust removal station via the turntable 31, they undergo a first dust removal process. When the bottle caps are rotated to the second dust removal station via the turntable 31, they undergo a second dust removal process. The bottle caps are then adsorbed onto the dust removal cover 447 below the cap-tapping assembly 44, where they undergo a third dust removal process. The cap-tapping assembly 44 picks up the bottle caps and taps them up and down within the time range during which the turntable 31 stops. Simultaneously, dust is extracted from below to knock off and remove the dust. After completing the above steps, the bottle caps are finally picked up by the suction cups inside the cap-tapping assembly 44 and unloaded onto the conveyor belt mechanism 5.
