[0002] Existing dual-station bottle cap transfer mechanisms are quite common; please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, beer bottle caps to be transferred are placed in the feeding chute above the connecting plate, and then the bottle caps are connected to the second conveyor rod by the pushing part. At this time, the second conveyor rod rotates. When the second conveyor rod reaches the position of the double station transfer part, the double station transfer part will pick up the bottle caps on the surface of the second conveyor rod. Then, the beer bottle caps on the double station transfer part are pushed onto the first conveyor rod.

[0003] When the above-mentioned dual-station bottle cap transfer mechanism is in use, the surface of the dual-station transfer section needs to adsorb beer bottle caps. When the transfer is performed, the surface will be in an unobstructed state. When adsorbing again, the beer bottle caps will be adsorbed. However, the entire device is in the external space, and light dust or other foreign objects may appear on the surface of the beer bottle caps, causing the adsorption port of the dual-station transfer section to become blocked.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0025] Example 1: As Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning structure for a dual-station bottle cap transfer mechanism. This cleaning structure, mounted on a mounting frame 1, is used for cleaning beer bottle caps and includes a connecting plate 2, a limiting plate 4, a cleaning section 3, a first rotating plate 13, and a second rotating plate 15. The connecting plate 2 is fixed to one side of the dual-station transfer section 11, and the connecting plate 2 and the mounting frame 1 are welded together. The limiting plate 4 is fixed to one side of the connecting plate 2, and the limiting plate 4 and the connecting plate 2 are detachably connected. The limiting plate 4 has a transverse insertion groove 41 relative to the connecting plate 2 inside. The insertion groove 41 and the limiting plate 4 are integrally molded, and the insertion groove 41 and the limiting plate 4 are... Figure 3The side view shown has a "U"-shaped design with the "U"-shaped opening facing upwards. One side of the insertion slot 41 extends through one side of the limiting plate 4, facilitating the subsequent installation of the cleaning part 3. Part of the cleaning part 3 is inserted into the limiting plate 4. The cleaning part 3 is used to clean the surface of the beer bottle cap. The cleaning part 3 includes a mounting plate 32 disposed above the insertion slot 41, wherein the mounting plate 32 is as follows... Figure 3 The design shown is an L-shaped side panel. The bottom of the mounting plate 32 is located inside the insertion slot 41, and a insertion plate 34 is fixed thereon. The insertion plate 34 is as follows... Figure 3 As shown, the cross-section is rectangular, and the lengths of the four sides of the rectangle are all smaller than the lengths of the four sides of the insertion slot 41. It is used to insert into the insertion slot 41 to fix the position of the cleaning brush 31. That is, the top of the insertion plate 34 and the bottom of the mounting plate 32 are welded above the insertion slot 41. The length of the mounting plate 32 is greater than the width of the opening at the top of the insertion slot 41. The cleaning brush 31 is fixed on the side of the mounting plate 32 away from the limiting plate 4. The cleaning brush 31 is used to abut against the beer bottle cap. The cleaning brush 31 is made of soft rubber and is used to clean the surface of the bottle cap.

[0026] The interior of the insertion slot 41 is made of iron metal. A magnet is installed at the end of the insertion plate 34 away from the open end of the insertion slot 41. The magnet is used to attract the insertion slot 41. The length of the insertion slot 41 and the cleaning part 3 on the connecting plate 2 is less than the diameter of the first rotating plate 13 and the second rotating plate 15 to prevent the mounting plate 32 and the insertion slot 41 from falling off during use.

[0027] The cleaning unit 3 also includes a pull rod 33 fixed to the surface of the mounting plate 32. The pull rod 33 is located on the side of the mounting plate 32 near the opening of the insertion slot 41. The pull rod 33 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it has an inverted "L" shape design. When in use, the operator can use the lever 33 to pull the mounting plate 32 to replace the cleaning part 3.

[0028] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment is as follows: When in use, the insertion plate 34 at the bottom of the mounting plate 32 and the insertion slot 41 at the top of the limiting plate 4 are inserted. At this time, the cleaning brush 31 will abut against the surface of the beer bottle cap inside the mounting frame 1. When the mounting frame 1 rotates and is conveyed, the cleaning brush 31, which is made of soft rubber, will clean the surface of the bottle cap. After use, the surface of the cleaning brush 31 will be worn. At this time, the pull rod 33 on one side of the mounting plate 32 can be pulled to separate the insertion plate 34 and the insertion slot 41, and the cleaning brush 31 can be taken out, replaced and reset. At this time, the inside of the insertion slot 41 is made of iron metal. A magnet is installed at the end of the insertion plate 34 away from the open end of the insertion slot 41. The magnet will attract the insertion slot 41 to fix the position of the cleaning brush 31.

[0029] Example 2: Figure 1-5As shown, a dual-station bottle cap transfer mechanism includes a first rotating plate 13 rotatably connected inside a mounting frame 1. Several first conveying rods 14 are arranged in a ring around the periphery of the first rotating plate 13 inside the mounting frame 1. A drive motor is detachably fixed to the outer wall of the mounting frame 1. The drive motor is mainly based on the law of electromagnetic induction, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. The basic components of the motor include a stator and a rotor. The direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field is related to the direction of the current and the direction of the magnetic field lines. This is a publicly available technology and will not be elaborated further below. The drive motor is driven to rotate the first rotating plate 13, causing the first conveying rods 14 to rotate around the center of the first rotating plate 13. An external power supply is used. A command is input at the control panel to control the drive motor to rotate at a specified speed, causing the first rotating plate 13 to rotate, thus rotating the first conveying rods 14 around the center of the first rotating plate 13 to facilitate the transfer of beer bottle caps on the first conveying rods 14.

[0030] A second rotating plate 15 is rotatably connected inside the mounting frame 1 on one side of the first rotating plate 13. Several second conveying rods 16 are arranged in a ring around the periphery of the second rotating plate 15 inside the mounting frame 1. The second conveying rods 16 and the first conveying rods 14 rotate clockwise and do not exert an upward force on the cleaning brush 31. A drive motor can also be detachably installed on the outer wall of the mounting frame 1 on one side of the second rotating plate 15. The drive motor drives the second rotating plate 15 to rotate, causing the second conveying rods 16 to rotate around the center of the second rotating plate 15. When in use, an external power supply is connected. At this time, a command is input at the control panel to control the drive motor to rotate at a specified speed, causing the second rotating plate 15 to rotate, so that the second conveying rods 16 rotate around the center of the first rotating plate 13 to help transport the beer bottle caps on the first conveying rods 14.

[0031] A dual-station transfer unit 11 is detachably installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame 1 on the side away from the first rotating plate 13. The dual-station transfer unit 11 is used to help transfer the beer bottle caps on the surface of the second conveyor rod 16 to the surface of the first conveyor rod 14. The dual-station transfer unit 11 includes a rotatable rotating arm disposed inside the mounting frame 1. The model of this rotating arm may be as follows. A drive source for driving the rotating arm is detachably installed at the position of the rotating arm. The rotating arm is fan-shaped and rotates around its own axis. An arc-shaped groove for limiting the movement of the rotating arm is provided on the side wall of the mounting frame 1. The model of this arc-shaped groove may be as follows. The arc of the arc-shaped groove is consistent with the rotation track of the rotating arm. The arc-shaped groove and the rotating arm are concentric. A crossbar is detachably installed inside the arc-shaped groove. The crossbar extends to the outside of the mounting frame 1. A push rod is connected to the crossbar through a slide groove and a slide rail. The slide groove and the slide rail have a power source for moving the push rod, which is used to push the push rod to reciprocate on the crossbar. There are two push rods. During operation, the two push rods work synchronously to improve the conveying efficiency.

[0032] An air pump 12 is detachably connected to one side of the crossbar of the mounting frame 1. The air pump 12 is mainly driven by the engine through its crankshaft, which in turn drives the piston to pump air. The pumped air is introduced into the air reservoir through the air guide pipe. The air pressure in the air reservoir is controlled by a pressure regulating valve. When the air pressure in the air reservoir reaches the pressure set by the pressure regulating valve, the valve opens, and the air enters the air passage of the air pump 12, which is connected to the pressure regulating valve. The air passage controls the air inlet of the air pump 12 to remain open, thus allowing the air pump 12 to operate under no-load conditions, thereby reducing power loss and protecting the air pump 12. When the air pressure in the air reservoir falls below the pressure set by the pressure regulating valve due to losses, the valve in the pressure regulating valve returns to its original position by the return spring, disconnecting the control air path of the air pump 12, and the air pump 12 restarts pumping air. The above is the disclosed technology and will not be described in detail below. The air pump 12 is connected to a push rod through a conduit. The push rod has an adsorption hole inside that is connected to the air supply pipe for adsorbing beer bottle caps.

[0033] A feeding trough 21 is provided on the connecting plate 2, which is used to connect with the conveyor belt. A pusher part 17 is detachably connected to the surface of the mounting frame 1 above the feeding trough 21. A cylinder is detachably connected to the mounting frame 1 on one side of the pusher part 17. The working principle of the cylinder is mainly to use compressed air as power to drive the mechanism to perform linear, oscillating, and rotary movements. The basic structure of the cylinder includes a cylinder body, piston, seals, and buffer devices. Cylinders can be divided into single-acting cylinders and double-acting cylinders. In a single-acting cylinder, the piston is only supplied with air on one side and returns by relying on a spring or its own weight; while in a double-acting cylinder, the piston has air pressure on both sides to achieve forward or backward movement. The above is the disclosed technology and will not be described in detail below. The driving cylinder drives the pusher part 17 to reciprocate on the feeding trough 21 to unload materials.

[0034] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is as follows: In use, the drive motor is controlled by the control panel to rotate at a specified speed, driving the first rotating plate 13 and the second rotating plate 15 to rotate, so that the first conveying rod 14 and the second conveying rod 16 rotate around the center of the first rotating plate 13 and the second rotating plate 15, so as to help transfer the beer bottle caps on the second conveying rod 16 to the first conveying rod 14. At this time, the cylinder on one side of the pushing part 17 is controlled, and the cylinder will push the pushing part 17 to reciprocate on the unloading trough 21, pushing the beer bottle caps unloaded from the unloading trough 21 to the second conveying rod 16 for conveying. At this time, the pushing rod will work synchronously when the rotating arm moves. The air pump 12 will adsorb the beer bottle caps on the surface of the second conveying rod 16, and then reciprocate under the action of the slide groove and slide rail on the crossbar, transferring the beer bottle caps to the first conveying rod 14 for conveying. At the same time, since there are two pushing rods, the two pushing rods work synchronously during operation, improving the conveying efficiency.

[0035] Working principle: When using this dual-station bottle cap transfer mechanism with an external power supply, the control panel first controls the drive motor to rotate at a specified speed, driving the first rotating plate 13 and the second rotating plate 15 to rotate, causing the first conveyor rod 14 and the second conveyor rod 16 to rotate around the center of the first rotating plate 13 and the second rotating plate 15, so as to help transfer the beer bottle caps on the second conveyor rod 16 to the first conveyor rod 14. At this time, the cylinder on one side of the pusher part 17 is controlled, and the cylinder will push the pusher part 17 to reciprocate on the unloading trough 21, pushing the beer bottle caps unloaded from the unloading trough 21 to the second conveyor rod 16 for conveying. At this time, the pusher rod will work synchronously when the rotating arm moves. The air pump 12 will adsorb the beer bottle caps on the surface of the second conveyor rod 16, and then reciprocate under the action of the slide groove and slide rail on the crossbar, transferring the beer bottle caps to the first conveyor rod 14 for conveying. At the same time, since there are two pusher rods, the two pusher rods work synchronously during operation, increasing the conveying efficiency.

[0036] Next, the insertion plate 34 at the bottom of the mounting plate 32 and the insertion slot 41 at the top of the limiting plate 4 are inserted. At this time, the cleaning brush 31 will abut against the surface of the beer bottle cap inside the mounting frame 1. When the mounting frame 1 rotates and is conveyed, the cleaning brush 31, which is made of soft rubber, will clean the surface of the bottle cap. After use, the surface of the cleaning brush 31 will be worn. At this time, the pull rod 33 on one side of the mounting plate 32 can be pulled to separate the insertion plate 34 and the insertion slot 41, and the cleaning brush 31 can be taken out, replaced and reset. At this time, the inside of the insertion slot 41 is made of iron metal. A magnet is installed at the end of the insertion plate 34 away from the open end of the insertion slot 41. The magnet will attract the insertion slot 41 to fix the position of the cleaning brush 31, and finally complete the work of the dual-station bottle cap transfer mechanism.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
