Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cap assembly devices, and more specifically to an automatic cap assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] Dental filling materials often use two-component mixing tubing. This tubing requires a cap to be installed at the outlet for sealing before filling, as exemplified by the disposable two-component dental material syringe with prior art publication number CN118613230A. The cap includes an outer cap and an inner core located inside the outer cap. The inner core has two protrusions, which are inserted into the outlets of the two tubing tubes respectively during installation to ensure a tight seal.

[0003] In actual assembly, the outer cap and inner core need to be assembled first before being installed on the mixing tubing. Currently, the assembly of the outer cap and inner core is mostly done manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Therefore, this invention provides an automatic cap assembly device with high assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic cap assembly device. Through the cooperation of a rotating disk, an outer cap feeding mechanism, an inner core feeding mechanism, a detection mechanism, and a discharging mechanism, it can realize the automatic assembly of the outer cap and the inner core, as well as the sorting after assembly. The assembly efficiency is high, and an industrial camera is used for detection to avoid the omission of outer caps affecting subsequent assembly work. Furthermore, a ring slide plate is used to support the stable rotation of the rotating disk to prevent the rotating disk from deviating and affecting the assembly quality of the outer cap and the inner core, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic cap assembly device, comprising an assembly table, an outer cap feeding mechanism, an inner core feeding mechanism, a detection mechanism, and a discharging mechanism.

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.

[0027] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an automatic cap assembly device, including an assembly platform 1, an outer cap feeding mechanism 2, an inner core feeding mechanism 3, a detection mechanism 4, and a discharging mechanism 5. The outer cap feeding mechanism 2, the inner core feeding mechanism 3, the detection mechanism 4, and the discharging mechanism 5 are arranged in a circular array on the assembly platform 1. Specifically, the outer cap feeding mechanism 2 includes an outer cap vibrating plate 21 and an outer cap pneumatic clamp 22. The outer cap vibrating plate 21 is fixed to the rear end of the assembly platform 1, and the outer cap pneumatic clamp 22 is fixed to the inner wall of the top of the support 10.

[0028] The inner core feeding mechanism 3 includes an inner core vibrating plate 31 and an inner core pneumatic clamp 32. The inner core vibrating plate 31 is fixed on one side of the assembly table 1, and the inner core pneumatic clamp 32 is fixed on the inner wall of the top of the bracket 10.

[0029] The detection mechanism 4 includes a vertical plate 41 located in front of the rotating disk 6. A linear module 42 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the vertical plate 41. Two capacitive proximity switches 43 are fixedly installed at the rear end of the linear module 42. The capacitive proximity switches 43 can detect metal and non-metal objects and have the characteristics of non-contact detection, fast response speed and high detection accuracy.

[0030] The feeding mechanism 5 includes a waste feeding chute 51, a finished product feeding chute 52, and a feeding pneumatic clamp 53. The waste feeding chute 51 and the finished product feeding chute 52 are both located on one side of the rotary table 6 and fixed to the assembly table 1. The feeding pneumatic clamp 53 is fixed on the inner wall of the top of the support 10.

[0031] A rotating disk 6 is installed on the top of the assembly platform 1. A servo motor 13 is detachably installed on the top of the assembly platform 1. The top end of the output shaft of the servo motor 13 is detachably connected to the bottom end of the rotating disk 6. A plurality of fixtures 7 arranged in a ring array are fixedly provided on the top of the rotating disk 6.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an annular slide rail 8 is also fixedly embedded at the bottom of the rotating disk 6. An annular slide plate 9 is slidably mounted inside the annular slide rail 8. The bottom of the annular slide plate 9 is fixed to the top of the assembly table 1, and the annular slide plate 9 is located outside the servo motor 13. A bracket 10 is fixedly mounted on the top of the assembly table 1. An industrial camera 11 is mounted on the bracket 10 and is located between the outer cover feeding mechanism 2 and the inner core feeding mechanism 3. An mounting plate 14 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the bracket 10. An electric push rod 15 for driving the industrial camera 11 to rise and fall is fixedly mounted through the mounting plate 14.

[0033] The front end of the assembly table 1 is fixedly equipped with a controller 16, which has a built-in alarm. The servo motor 13, the outer cover pneumatic clamp 22, the inner core pneumatic clamp 32 and the linear module 42 are all connected to the output end of the controller 16. The industrial camera 11 is connected to the input end of the controller 16 to realize the automation of this device.

[0034] In actual use, the outer cover vibrating plate 21 and the outer cover pneumatic clamp 22 work together. The clamping plate at the bottom of the outer cover pneumatic clamp 22 automatically places two caps on the fixture 7. Then, the servo motor 13 drives the rotating plate 6 to rotate 45 degrees, so that the fixture 7 with the outer cover is rotated to the bottom of the industrial camera 11. At this time, the industrial camera 11 takes pictures of the fixture 7. The captured image is processed by machine vision technology. When two outer covers are detected, the rotating plate 6 and the outer cover feeding mechanism 2 continue to operate, rotating the fixture 7 with the outer cover to the bottom of the inner core pneumatic clamp 32. The clamping plate at the bottom of the inner core pneumatic clamp 32 inserts the two inner cores into the two outer covers respectively, completing the automatic assembly of the outer cover and the inner core. When two or one outer cover is not detected in the fixture 7, the whole device stops, the alarm on the controller 16 sounds an alarm, and the staff can replenish it in time. At the same time, the staff can also clean up the outer covers that have fallen on the rotating plate 6 to prevent the outer covers from affecting the normal operation of the parts.

[0035] When the outer cover and inner core assembled together in the fixture 7 are moved below the two capacitive proximity switches 43, the linear module 42 drives the two capacitive proximity switches 43 to move down and contact the inner core for detection, and sends the detection result to the controller 16. After processing the signal data, the controller 16 controls the unloading pneumatic clamp 53 to transport the cap to the finished product unloading chute 52 or the waste unloading chute 51, thereby realizing automatic screening. The whole device has a high degree of automation and high assembly efficiency.

[0036] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 4 and Figure 5 The outer wall surface of the annular slide plate 9 has an opening 12. There are multiple openings 12, which are arranged in a ring array on the annular slide plate 9. The openings 12 facilitate the subsequent disassembly of the servo motor 13 and the rotating disk 6 by the staff.

[0037] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
