Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automated assembly, and in particular to an assembly apparatus for plastic bottle caps and aluminum foil gaskets. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, plastic products are widely used in the packaging industry, especially plastic bottle caps, which are extensively used for sealing various liquid containers. To improve the sealing performance of plastic bottle caps, the industry commonly uses the method of adding aluminum foil gaskets inside the plastic bottle caps.

[0003] However, the conventional method for achieving this is manual. Specifically, workers pick up plastic bottle caps one by one and then accurately insert aluminum foil gaskets into the caps. This manual method can meet production needs to a certain extent, but because it requires workers to concentrate for long periods of time on repetitive actions, the labor intensity is high, and it is easily affected by the worker's own condition and skill level. The efficiency of assembling the gaskets into the bottle caps is also slow and needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a plastic bottle cap and aluminum foil gasket assembly device to improve the efficiency of gasket assembly inside the bottle cap.

[0005] The present application provides a plastic bottle cap and aluminum foil gasket assembly device with the following technical solution: it includes an assembly platform, which is connected to a transmission component, a clamping component, a placement platform, a loading component, and two limiting plates. The two limiting plates are spaced apart, and a channel is formed between the two limiting plates for the bottle cap to pass through. The transmission component is used to drive the bottle cap to move. The clamping component corresponds to the loading component and is used to clamp the bottle cap. The placement platform is used to place the gasket, and the loading component is used to install the gasket on the placement platform into the bottle cap.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveying component drives the bottle cap to move, allowing it to move to the corresponding position through the channel between the limiting plates. The sliding cooperation between the bottle cap and the channel guides and limits the sliding of the bottle cap, thereby improving the stability of the bottle cap movement. The clamping component clamps the bottle cap, and the filling component installs the gasket from the placement table into the bottle cap, realizing the automatic assembly of the plastic bottle cap and aluminum foil gasket, improving assembly efficiency. After the bottle cap has assembled with the gasket, the clamping component releases the bottle cap, and the conveying component drives the assembled bottle cap to the next station.

[0007] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes a clamping plate slidably connected to the assembly table and a first drive member for driving the clamping plate to slide, the first drive member being connected to the assembly table, the clamping plate passing through one of the limiting plates.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the bottle cap moves to the corresponding position, the first driving component drives the clamping plate to slide towards the bottle cap, so that the bottle cap is clamped by the clamping plate and one of the limiting plates, thereby improving the stability of the bottle cap and making it easier for the filling assembly to install the pad on the placement table into the bottle cap.

[0009] Optionally, each of the limiting plates is provided with a guide plate at its feed end, and the distance between the two guide plates gradually decreases in the direction closer to the limiting plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottle cap can enter the channel formed by the limiting plate more smoothly, which helps to improve the stability and smoothness of the bottle cap during the transmission process, thereby improving the working efficiency of the entire assembly device.

[0011] Optionally, the assembly table is connected to a blocking component, and the clamping component is located between the blocking component and the guide plate. The blocking component is used to block the bottle cap, and when the blocking component blocks the bottle cap, the bottle cap corresponds to the clamping component.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a blocking component is set on the assembly table and it maintains a specific positional relationship with the clamping component and the guide plate. This can accurately block the bottle cap and place it in the position corresponding to the clamping component, which facilitates the subsequent clamping operation of the bottle cap. This helps to realize the automated assembly of the bottle cap and the gasket and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0013] Optionally, the blocking assembly includes a blocking plate slidably connected to the assembly table and a second driving member for driving the blocking plate to slide, the second driving member being connected to the assembly table, the blocking plate passing through one of the limiting plates.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the second driving component drives the baffle plate to slide, so that the baffle plate is located in the channel, so that the bottle cap can abut against the baffle plate and move the bottle cap accurately to the corresponding position.

[0015] Optionally, the end of the blocking plate away from the second driving member is provided with a guide surface, and the guide surface is located on the side of the blocking plate close to the clamping assembly.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the baffle plate extends between two adjacent bottle caps, the guide surface abuts against one of the bottle caps and drives the bottle cap to move away from the other bottle cap, which makes it easier to separate the two adjacent bottle caps.

[0017] Optionally, the placement platform is connected to at least three limiting rods, all of which form a limiting groove for inserting a gasket. The placement platform is provided with a through hole communicating with the limiting groove, and the radius of the through hole is smaller than the radius of the gasket.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the gasket is placed in the limiting groove, and the limiting rod restricts the horizontal movement of the gasket, thereby improving the stability of the gasket placed on the placement table. The loading assembly moves the gasket through the through hole, and the gasket undergoes elastic deformation when passing through the through hole.

[0019] Optionally, the loading assembly includes a lifting plate slidably connected to the assembly table, a reciprocating structure for driving the lifting plate to slide towards or away from the placement table, a flipping plate rotatably connected to the lifting plate, a flipping structure for driving the flipping plate to rotate, and a suction and release structure connected to the flipping plate. The reciprocating structure is connected to the assembly table, the flipping structure is connected to the lifting plate, and the suction and release structure is used to hold or release the pad.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the cam is driven to rotate by the third driving component. Since the output end of the driving component is connected to the eccentric part of the cam, the end of the lifting rod away from the lifting plate abuts against the outer surface of the cam, which enables the lifting rod to drive the lifting plate to reciprocate. When the lifting plate slides towards the placement platform, the flipping structure drives the flipping plate to rotate, so that the suction and release structure corresponds to the through hole, and the suction and release structure sucks up one of the gaskets in the limiting groove. When the lifting plate slides away from the placement platform, the suction and release structure drives the gasket to pass through the through hole and detach from the placement platform. The flipping structure drives the flipping plate to rotate, so that the sucked gasket corresponds to the bottle cap. The sucked gasket is placed inside the bottle cap, and the suction and release structure releases the gasket, thereby completing the automatic assembly of the gasket.

[0021] Optionally, the reciprocating structure includes a cam rotatably connected to the assembly table, a third driving member for driving the cam to rotate, and a lifting rod connected to the lifting plate. The third driving member is connected to the assembly table, and its output end is connected to the eccentric part of the cam. The end of the lifting rod away from the lifting plate abuts against the outer surface of the cam.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the end of the lifting rod away from the lifting plate abuts against the outer surface of the cam, enabling the lifting rod to drive the lifting plate to reciprocate, thereby realizing the reciprocating action of the filling assembly and efficiently installing the gasket on the placement platform into the bottle cap.

[0023] Optionally, a roller is rotatably connected to the end of the lifting rod away from the lifting plate, and the roller abuts against the cam.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the roller connected to one end of the lifting rod abuts against the cam, which can reduce the friction between the lifting rod and the cam, making the device operate more smoothly and stably.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. The bottle cap is moved by the transmission component, so that the bottle cap can move to the corresponding position through the channel between the limit plates. The clamping component clamps the bottle cap, and the filling component installs the gasket on the placement table into the bottle cap, realizing the automatic assembly of plastic bottle cap and aluminum foil gasket, which improves the assembly efficiency.

[0027] 2. The roller connected to one end of the lifting rod abuts against the cam, which reduces the friction between the lifting rod and the cam, making the device operate more smoothly and stably. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 2 - Appendix Figure 6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0036] This application discloses an assembly device for plastic bottle caps and aluminum foil gaskets.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the assembly includes an assembly platform 1, which is connected to a transmission component 2, a clamping component 3, a placement platform 4, a loading component 5, a blocking component 6, and two limiting plates 11. The transmission component 2 includes a transmission belt 21, two transmission rollers (not shown in the figure) that are rotatably connected to the assembly platform 1, and a drive motor 22 for driving one of the transmission rollers to rotate.

When it is necessary to block the bottle cap 7, the second driving member 62 drives the blocking plate 61 to slide towards the channel 111, so that the blocking plate 61 passes through one of the limiting plates 11 and extends into the channel 111. When it is not necessary to block the bottle cap 7, the second driving member 62 drives the blocking plate 61 to slide away from the channel 111, so that the blocking plate 61 separates from the channel 111.

[0042] The implementation principle of the plastic bottle cap and aluminum foil gasket assembly device in this application is as follows:

[0043] Bottle caps 7 are placed on conveyor belt 21. Conveyor belt 21 drives bottle caps 7 into channel 111 via drive motor 22 and conveyor roller. Controller controls second drive member 62 to open. Second drive member 62 drives the blocking plate to slide towards channel 111, so that the blocking plate 61 passes through one of the limiting plates 11 and extends into channel 111. The blocking plate 61 blocks the bottle caps 7 on the side of the blocking plate 61 closest to clamping plate 31. The two bottle caps 7 correspond to clamping plate 31. Controller controls conveyor belt 21 to stop running. First drive member 32 drives clamping plate 31 to slide towards bottle caps 7, so that the two bottle caps 7 are clamped by clamping plate 31 and limiting plate 11. Second drive member 62 drives blocking plate 61 to slide away from channel 111, so that blocking plate 61 separates from channel 111. The third drive unit 522 drives the cam 521 to rotate around the axis of the third drive unit 522. The cam 521 abuts against the roller 5231 and drives the lifting rod 523 and the lifting plate to slide towards the placement platform 4. The drive cylinder 543 drives the rack 542 to slide. The rack 542 drives the gear 541 and the tilting plate 53 to rotate, so that the two suction cups 552 correspond to the two through holes 43. The air pipe 551 draws air through the air pump. The suction cups 552 suck up the pad 8 at the bottom of the placement platform 4, and the lifting is achieved. Plate 51 slides away from the placement platform 4 via the cooperation of cam 521 and roller 5231. Gasket 8 undergoes elastic deformation and passes through through hole 43. Drive cylinder 543 drives rack 542 to slide in the opposite direction. Rack 542 drives gear 541 and tilting plate 53 to rotate, causing gasket 8 to align with and be located inside bottle cap 7. Air pipe 551 releases air via air pump, and suction cup 552 releases gasket 8, thus completing the automated assembly of gasket 8 and bottle cap 7, improving assembly efficiency. Conveyor belt 21 moves the assembled bottle cap 7 to the next station to continue assembling new bottle caps 7.
