Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ejection mechanism technology, and in particular to a conveyor cover material channel translation ejection mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the automated capping process of a bottling production line, bottles need to be capped and screwed on to achieve the desired seal. To meet the requirements of automated production, the following steps are required: Figure 1 As shown, the existing technology continuously conveys bottle caps through a linear conveyor channel. Since multiple bottle caps are conveyed to the channel in sequence, they interact and push forward. Then, when the bottle caps are grabbed, there is a forward pushing force between them. At this time, when an upward force is applied to the bottle caps, the bottle caps may fly out due to the force of another bottle cap on one side. This causes the bottle cap gripping mechanism to fail, affecting the capping and screwing on of the bottle and reducing the filling efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is as follows: In the existing technology, bottle caps are continuously conveyed through a linear conveyor channel. As multiple bottle caps are sequentially conveyed to the channel, they interact and push forward. When the bottle caps are then grasped, there is a forward pushing force between them. When an upward force is applied to the bottle caps, they may fly off due to the force of another bottle cap on one side. This causes the bottle cap grasping mechanism to fail, affecting the capping and screwing on of bottles and reducing filling efficiency. The present invention provides a conveyor channel translation and ejection mechanism for bottle caps.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a conveying cap conveying channel translation and ejection mechanism, including a conveying channel for conveying bottle caps, and an ejection rod and a translation plate disposed at the output end of the conveying channel. The ejection rod is located below the conveying channel. The translation plate is provided with a first driving mechanism for driving the ejection rod to rise or fall and to lift or reset the bottle cap. The translation plate is also provided with a second driving mechanism for driving the translation plate to translate along the cross direction of the output direction of the conveying channel, thereby achieving the offset of the ejection rod from the conveying channel and blocking the output end of the conveying channel by the translation plate. Compared with the prior art, this solution offsets the bottle caps to be ejected from the bottle caps behind by using the translation plate to eliminate the force of the ejected bottle caps. There is no additional force on the bottle caps during ejection. At the same time, the bottle caps on the conveying channel are blocked by the translation plate, which can prevent the bottle caps on the conveying channel from being output, thus ensuring the stable and reliable gripping of subsequent bottle caps, improving the gripping efficiency of bottle caps, and ensuring the stable and reliable production of the filling equipment.

[0005] To ensure that bottle caps smoothly enter the ejector rod via the conveyor channel, some preferred embodiments further include a transition channel that restricts the conveying of bottle caps along the conveying direction. The transition channel is located between the translation plate and the output tube of the conveyor channel. Within the transition channel, the displacement of the bottle caps is limited to the conveying direction, preventing the bottle caps from detaching from the transition channel and ensuring stable and reliable bottle cap conveying.

[0006] To achieve the transition channel, in some preferred embodiments, the transition channel includes a channel body with a groove on its upper surface. The groove is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying channel. Two limiting plates are arranged above the channel body, respectively on both sides of the groove along the conveying direction. The two limiting plates and the groove form a limiting channel for restricting the displacement direction of the bottle cap. By forming the limiting channel through the groove on the channel body and the limiting plates on both sides of the groove, the bottle cap can only move within the limiting channel, ensuring that the bottle cap will not be pushed out.

[0007] To better eject the bottle cap, in some preferred embodiments, the translation plate has a slot that matches the bottle cap. The slot is correspondingly positioned with the conveying channel, and the ejector rod is located below the slot. The slot matches the bottle cap, allowing it to enter the slot. The slot also provides a certain positioning function for the bottle cap, ensuring stable and reliable ejection.

[0008] In some preferred embodiments, a translation base is also included, the second drive mechanism is disposed on the translation base, and the translation plate is slidably disposed on the translation base.

[0009] In order to enable the translation plate to slide on the translation base, in some preferred embodiments, the translation base is provided with a linear guide rail, and the translation plate is provided with a slider that matches the linear guide rail. The slider matches the linear guide rail and is slidably disposed on the linear guide rail.

[0010] To realize the second drive mechanism, in some preferred embodiments, the second drive mechanism includes a second cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on a translation base, and the extended end of the second cylinder is fixedly mounted on a translation plate.

[0011] To prevent the translation plate from vibrating when the second cylinder extends or retracts, which could cause the bottle cap on the ejector rod to fall off, in some preferred embodiments, the translation base is provided with a buffer mechanism for cushioning and damping the translation plate during displacement.

[0012] To implement the buffer mechanism, in some preferred embodiments, the buffer mechanism includes two opposing buffer cylinders, with the translation plate located between the two buffer cylinders.

[0013] To implement the limiting mechanism, in some preferred embodiments, the first driving mechanism includes a first cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the translation base. An inner plug matching the recess on the bottle cap is provided above the ejector rod, and the protruding end of the first cylinder is provided below the ejector rod.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When using the conveyor cap feeding channel translation and ejection mechanism of this utility model, the bottle cap to be ejected is offset from the bottle cap behind by the translation plate, which eliminates the force of the ejected bottle cap. There is no additional force on the bottle cap during ejection. At the same time, the bottle cap on the conveyor channel is blocked by the translation plate, which can prevent the bottle cap from being output from the conveyor channel, thus ensuring the stable and reliable gripping of the subsequent bottle cap, improving the gripping efficiency of the bottle cap, and ensuring the stable and reliable production of the filling equipment. This avoids the problem of the existing technology of continuously conveying bottle caps through a linear conveyor channel. Since multiple bottle caps are conveyed to the channel in sequence, they interact and push forward. Then the bottle caps are gripped, and there is a forward pushing force between the bottle caps. At this time, when an upward force is applied to the bottle cap, it will cause the bottle cap to fly out due to the force of another bottle cap on one side, resulting in the failure of the bottle cap gripping mechanism, affecting the capping and screwing of the bottle, and reducing the filling efficiency.

[0030] like Figure 2-9As shown, a cap conveying channel translation and ejection mechanism includes a conveying channel 1 and a translation base 12 for conveying bottle caps. An ejection rod 2 and a translation plate 3 are provided at the output end of the conveying channel 1. The ejection rod 2 is located below the conveying channel 1. A first driving mechanism 4 and a second driving mechanism 5 are provided on the translation plate 3. The first driving mechanism 4 is used to drive the ejection rod 2 to rise or fall and to lift or reset the bottle cap. Ejecting the bottle cap facilitates the gripping of the bottle cap, and resetting is for ejecting the next bottle cap. In this embodiment, the second driving mechanism 5 is used to drive the translation plate 3 to translate in the direction perpendicular to the output direction of the conveying channel 1, and to realize that the ejection rod 2 is misaligned with the conveying channel 1 and the translation plate 3 blocks the output end of the conveying channel 1. The misalignment of the ejection rod 2 with the conveying channel 1 is to eliminate the interaction force between subsequent bottle caps, which can prevent the bottle cap from flying out when the force is applied to the bottle cap. Furthermore, the translation plate 3 blocks the subsequent bottle caps to ensure stable and reliable bottle cap conveying.

[0031] The conveying cap conveyor also includes a transition channel 6 that restricts the conveying of bottle caps along the conveying direction. The transition channel 6 is located between the translation plate 3 and the output of the conveying channel 1. The transition channel 6 includes a channel body 7. A groove 8 is formed on the upper surface of the channel body 7. The groove 8 is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying channel 1. Two limiting plates 9 are arranged above the channel body 7. The two limiting plates 9 are respectively arranged on both sides of the groove 8 along the conveying direction. A limiting channel 10 for restricting the displacement direction of the bottle cap is formed between the two limiting plates 9 and the groove 8.

[0032] The translation plate 3 has a slot 11 that matches the bottle cap. The slot 11 is set in correspondence with the conveying channel 1, and the ejector rod 2 is located below the slot 11.

[0033] The second drive mechanism 5 is mounted on the translation base 12, which is equipped with a linear guide rail 14. The translation plate 3 is equipped with a slider 13 that matches the linear guide rail 14. The slider 13 matches the linear guide rail 14 and slides on the linear guide rail 14, so that the translation plate 3 slides on the translation base 12. The second drive mechanism 5 includes a second cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the translation base 12. The extended end of the second cylinder is fixedly mounted on the translation plate 3. The translation base 12 is equipped with a buffer mechanism for buffering and damping the translation plate 3 when it is displaced. The buffer mechanism includes two buffer cylinders 15 arranged opposite to each other. The translation plate 3 is located between the two buffer cylinders 15. The first drive mechanism 4 includes a first cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the translation base 12. An inner plug 16 that matches the inner recess on the bottle cap is provided above the ejector rod 2. The extended end of the first cylinder is provided below the ejector rod 2.

[0034] When the aforementioned cap conveying channel translation and ejection mechanism is in use, bottle caps are conveyed sequentially on the conveying channel 1. The bottle caps enter the transition channel 6 through the conveying channel 1, and the first bottle cap then enters the slot 11 of the translation plate 3 through the transition channel 6. At this time, the bottle cap is exactly on the inner plug 16 at the upper end of the ejection rod 2. First, the second cylinder at the second drive mechanism 5 is activated. The second cylinder drives the translation plate 3 to slide to the left on the translation base 12. The slot 11 on the translation plate 3 is misaligned with the transition channel. At the same time, one side of the translation plate 3 blocks the transition channel. Meanwhile, the transition channel only allows bottle caps to be output in the conveying direction, thus sealing the bottle caps in the transition channel. Then, the first... The cylinder at drive mechanism 4 drives the ejector rod 2 to rise, ejecting the bottle cap on the ejector rod 2 and providing a gripping mechanism for subsequent gripping. At the same time, during the displacement of the translation plate 3, the buffer end of the buffer cylinder 15 on the left side of the translation base 12 will contact the translation plate 3 to buffer and dampen the vibration, reducing the impact of vibration on the bottle cap on the ejector rod 2. After the bottle cap on the ejector rod 2 is gripped, the first cylinder retracts and returns to its initial state. Then, the second cylinder is controlled to drive the translation plate 3 to slide to the right on the translation base 12. The slot 11 on the translation plate 3 is aligned with the transition channel. At the same time, the transition channel allows the bottle cap to be output into the slot 11 along the conveying direction, and the above actions are repeated.

[0035] The above description, based on the preferred embodiments of this utility model, provides inspiration. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification but must be determined according to the claims.
