Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of beverage filling production technology, and in particular to an inclined cap-dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] In beverage bottling lines, attaching bottle caps to bottles is a crucial step, which is divided into two stages: capping and tightening. For the capping stage, current technology typically employs a drive transmission mechanism. A common approach is to use a power source such as an electric motor to drive the transmission mechanism, which uses complex gears, chains, and other transmission components to move the bottle cap from its storage location to the top of the bottle, thus completing the capping operation. Other solutions utilize pneumatic devices such as cylinders, relying on compressed air to power the drive transmission mechanism and move the bottle cap. These methods have long been widely used in beverage bottling lines and were the standard means of solving the bottle cap placement problem at the time.

[0003] However, these drive mechanisms all require an additional power source; whether it's an electric motor or a pneumatic device, both consume energy. In large-scale beverage bottling production lines, this energy consumption leads to a significant increase in production costs, which contradicts the current trend of energy conservation and environmental protection. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to reduce the energy consumption of a beverage filling production line, this application provides an inclined cap placement device.

[0005] The inclined cover-laying device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An inclined cap placement device includes a mounting frame, a placement frame, and a pressure strip. The placement frame is inclinedly mounted on the mounting frame and has a placement slot for placing multiple bottle caps, with the multiple bottle caps arranged along the length of the placement frame. A conveyor belt for conveying bottles is provided below the placement frame, and the height of the placement slot gradually decreases along the conveyor belt's conveying direction. One end of the pressure strip is connected to the mounting frame, and the other end is movable up and down relative to the mounting frame. The pressure strip is located above the placement slot and is used to abut against the upper surface of the bottle caps in the placement slot. The free end of the pressure strip extends out of the placement slot.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the placement rack is tilted so that the height of the placement trough gradually decreases along the conveyor belt direction, allowing multiple bottle caps to move and arrange themselves above the bottle body by their own weight along the length of the placement rack. At this point, a portion of the bottle cap at the end of the placement trough extends out of the trough. As the bottle body passes through, it abuts against the protruding part of the bottle cap. As the bottle body continues to move, it causes the bottle cap to be fitted onto the bottle neck. Thus, the automatic capping of the bottle cap is achieved by utilizing the movement of the bottle body on the production line in conjunction with the bottle's own weight, eliminating the need for a separate power source and reducing energy consumption on the beverage bottling production line. The pressure strip is used to position the bottle cap, confining it within the placement trough when there is no bottle body interaction.

[0008] Optionally, the free end of the pressure strip is connected to a pressing part, the lower surface of which is used to abut against the bottle cap connected to the bottle body, and the lower surface of the pressing part is horizontally arranged.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, after the bottle cap is transferred to the bottle body, the pressing part continues to press and limit the bottle cap on the bottle body, ensuring the connection stability of the bottle cap to the bottle body.

[0010] Optionally, the mounting bracket is provided with a first abutment member, which extends along the width direction of the placement groove; there is a gap between the first abutment member and the pressure strip, and the first abutment member is used for the upper surface of the free end of the pressure strip to abut against.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of the bottle body bringing the bottle cap to itself through the last bottle cap of the placement groove, the bottle cap will go through a process of changing from tilted to horizontal. Therefore, the end of the pressure strip will be raised. At this time, the first abutting member forms an abutting limit on the pressure strip to prevent the pressure strip from being raised too much and to ensure that the pressure strip limits other bottle caps that are still in the limiting groove.

[0012] Optionally, the mounting bracket is provided with an abutment strip, which extends along the length of the pressure strip and is located between the placement bracket and the abutment strip; a second abutment member is provided at the end of the abutment strip, which is used for abutting the middle part of the pressure strip.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the second abutting member at the end of the abutting strip abuts against the middle position of the pressure strip, which can support the pressure strip and ensure that the pressure strip abuts against the bottle cap stably.

[0014] Optionally, the second abutment member is detachably connected to the abutment strip.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy to replace and maintain the second abutment component.

[0016] Optionally, the second abutment includes a bolt and a nut, and the end of the abutment strip has a through hole for the bolt thread to pass through, and the nut is threaded with the bolt thread; the nut of the bolt is used for the upper surface of the pressure strip to abut.

[0017] Optionally, the through hole is an oblong hole.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easier to adjust the installation position of the second abutment member and improve the flexibility of the abutment strip.

[0019] Optionally, a first magnet is provided at the free end of the pressure strip, and a second magnet is provided at the end of the placement groove, with the first magnet and the second magnet attracting each other.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the mutual attraction between the first magnet and the second magnet is used to strengthen the clamping effect of the pressure strip and the placement rack on the bottle cap, thereby reducing the possibility of the bottle cap slipping out of the placement slot.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. By setting an inclined placement rack, the bottle caps are arranged along the length of the rack. As the bottle moves with the conveyor belt, the bottle caps at the end of the rack are transferred to the bottle itself. No additional drive source is required, reducing the energy consumption of the canned beverage production line.

[0023] 2. By setting an abutment strip and a first abutment member, after the free end of the pressure strip moves upward, the abutment strip and the first abutment member are used to restrict the pressure strip to a certain extent, so as to prevent the pressure strip from moving upward too much due to inertia and to ensure the stability of the bottle cap in the placement groove;

[0024] 3. By setting a first magnet on the pressure strip and a second magnet on the placement rack, the clamping stability of the pressure strip and the placement rack for holding the bottle cap is improved through the cooperation of the first magnet and the second magnet.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses an inclined lid-laying device. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 4 An inclined cover placement device includes a mounting frame 1, a placement frame 2, and a pressure strip 3.

[0032] The placement rack 2 is installed at an angle on the mounting rack 1. The placement rack 2 has a placement groove 21 for placing multiple bottle caps 5, and the multiple bottle caps 5 are arranged along the length of the placement rack 2. A conveyor belt for conveying bottles 6 is provided below the placement rack 2. The height of the placement groove 21 gradually decreases along the conveyor belt conveying direction, so that the bottle caps 5 can move in the same direction as the bottles 6 by their own weight.

[0033] One end of the pressure strip 3 is connected to the mounting bracket 1, while the other end can move up and down. The pressure strip 3 and the mounting bracket 1 can be fixed by welding, bonding, or hinge. In the case of hinge, a torsion spring must be installed at the hinge position so that the free end of the pressure strip 3 can return to its original position after moving up and down. The pressure strip 3 can be made of elastic material, such as spring steel or rubber, which has a certain degree of elasticity and can better contact the bottle cap 5. The pressure strip 3 can also be made of carbon fiber material, which has high strength and light weight, improving the overall performance of the device.

[0034] The pressure strip 3 is located above the placement groove 21. The lower surface of the pressure strip 3 abuts against the upper surface of the bottle cap 5 in the placement groove 21, thereby using the pressure strip 3 to press and limit the bottle cap 5 in the placement groove 21. There is a certain gap between the pressure strip 3 and the placement rack 2. The size of the gap is such that the pressure strip 3 can contact the bottle cap 5 without hindering the sliding of the bottle cap 5. The free end extends out of the placement groove 21. When the bottle cap 5 slides to the end of the placement groove 21, the pressure strip 3 can apply a certain pressure to the bottle cap 5 to help it fall accurately onto the bottle body 6.

[0035] Furthermore, a pressing part 31 is connected to the free end of the pressing strip 3. The lower surface of the pressing part 31 is horizontally arranged and is used to abut against the upper surface of the bottle cap 5 connected to the bottle body 6 to ensure the stability of the bottle cap 5 on the bottle body 6. In this embodiment, the pressing part 31 is integrally formed with the pressing strip 3, and the material of the pressing part 31 is the same as that of the pressing strip 3.

[0036] Furthermore, a first magnet 32 ​​is embedded in the free end of the pressure strip 3, and a second magnet 22 is embedded in the placement rack 2. The second magnet 22 and the first magnet 32 ​​attract and cooperate with each other to form a more stable clamping of the bottle cap 5 in the placement groove 21.

[0037] Furthermore, the mounting frame 1 is provided with a first abutting member 23, which extends along the width direction of the mounting frame 2. The first abutting member 23 is used to abut against the upper surface of the free end of the pressure strip 3, thereby limiting the pressure strip 3 when it moves upward at the free end, preventing the pressure strip 3 from moving too far upward due to inertia, which would cause the bottle cap 5 to fall off.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first abutment 23 is a rod-shaped structure and is installed at the end of the placement frame 2.

[0039] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 1 is provided with an abutment strip 4, which extends along the length of the pressure strip 3, and the pressure strip 3 is located between the abutment strip 4 and the placement groove 21. A second abutment member 41 is provided at the end of the abutment strip 4, which is used for the upper surface of the middle part of the pressure strip 3 to abut.

[0040] In this embodiment, the second abutment member 41 includes a bolt 42 and a nut 43. A through hole 44 is provided at the end of the abutment strip 4. The bolt 42 passes through the through hole 44, and the nut 43 is threadedly engaged with the bolt. This achieves a detachable connection between the second abutment member 41 and the abutment strip 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, the through hole 44 is a waist-shaped hole, which facilitates the fine adjustment of the installation position of the second abutment 41 on the abutment strip 4, thereby improving the flexibility of the abutment strip 4 in use.

[0042] The implementation principle of the inclined cap placement device in this application embodiment is as follows: On the beverage filling production line, multiple bottle caps 5 are arranged sequentially in the placement groove 21 along the length direction of the placement rack 2, and multiple bottles 6 are arranged sequentially on the conveyor belt along the length direction of the conveyor belt. As the bottle 6 moves with the conveyor belt, when the bottle 6 moves to the bottle cap 5 at the end of the placement groove 21, the moving bottle 6 abuts against the bottle cap 5 and brings the bottle cap 5 down into the placement groove 21, thereby causing the bottle cap 5 to be fitted onto the bottle mouth.

[0043] As the bottle cap 5 comes into contact with the bottle cap 5 and gradually leaves the placement groove 21, the free end of the pressure strip 3 is lifted upward under the action of the bottle cap 5, causing the entire pressure strip 3 to be lifted upward by a small amplitude, releasing the pressure strip 3 from the restriction of the bottle cap 5. All the bottle caps 5 in the placement groove 21 move downward under their own gravity, so that the next bottle body 6 can carry the next bottle cap 5 away from the placement groove 21.

[0044] After the bottle cap 5, driven by the bottle body 6, completely leaves the placement groove 21, the pressure strip 3, under its own elasticity and the combined action of the first magnet 32 ​​and the second magnet 22, clamps and limits the bottle cap 5 in the placement groove 21 again.

[0045] 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.
