[0028] See appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, an automatic capping device for pump caps in disinfectant production is disclosed. The disinfectant bottle includes a bottle body 1 and a pump cap 2. Before capping, the pump cap 2 is placed on the bottle mouth 3 of the bottle body 1. The automatic capping device includes a capping cylinder 4 and a conveyor belt 5. The capping cylinder 4 is positioned above the disinfectant bottle to be capped.

[0029] The capping cylinder 4 includes a cylinder body 41 and a piston rod 42 for capping. The cylinder body 41 is fixed on the equipment frame, and the lower end of the piston rod 42 reciprocates up and down in relation to the pump cap 2 of the disinfectant bottle.

[0030] The conveyor belt 5 is arranged horizontally along the X-axis. The bottle body 1 is positioned on the conveyor belt 5 and is driven to move horizontally along the X-axis by the conveyor belt 5 to below the piston rod 42 of the capping cylinder 4.

[0031] Since the capping cylinder 4 is located above the conveyor belt 5, when the bottle body 1 is driven by the conveyor belt 5 to move directly below the capping cylinder 4, the capping cylinder 4 presses the pump cap 2, thereby improving the automation of the process of pressing the pump cap of the disinfectant bottle to the bottle body, avoiding physical discomfort caused by long-term pressing of the pump cap by the operator, and because the pressing force of the capping cylinder on the pump cap is constant, the connection stability between the two is reliably guaranteed after the pump cap is pressed onto the bottle body.

[0032] The system also includes an adjustment device fixed to the equipment frame and located on one side of the Y-axis of the conveyor belt 5. The adjustment device includes an adjustment block 6 for adjusting the Z-axis and Y-axis positions of the cylinder 41, with the cylinder 41 fixed to the adjustment block 6. In this embodiment, the adjustment block 6 includes a lifting adjustment block 61 along the Z-axis and a translation adjustment block 62 along the Y-axis. The lifting adjustment block 61 controls the cylinder 41 to move vertically to the pressing position, and the translation adjustment block 62 controls the cylinder 41 to move horizontally to the pressing position. The adjustable vertical position allows the cylinder 41 to adaptably press packaging bottles of different structural sizes, thus improving the practicality of the capping cylinder 4. The adjustable horizontal position allows it to adapt to conveyor belts 5 of different sizes, thus improving the flexibility of the capping cylinder 4.

[0033] In this embodiment, the X-axis and Y-axis are perpendicular in the horizontal direction, and the X-axis and Z-axis are perpendicular in the vertical direction.

[0034] Preferably, see Appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also includes a detection device for detecting whether the bottle 1 has reached the capping position. This detection device includes a fiber optic sensor 7 and a bracket 8 for fixing the fiber optic sensor 7. The bracket 8 is located on one side of the Y-axis of the conveyor belt 5, and the fiber optic sensor 7 is fixed to the bracket 8. A PLC controller is also included. The receiving end of the PLC controller is electrically connected to the fiber optic sensor 7, and the execution signal output end of the PLC controller is electrically connected to the capping cylinder 4. When the bottle 1 reaches the capping position, the fiber optic sensor 7 detects the bottle 1 and sends a feedback signal to the PLC controller. After receiving the feedback signal, the PLC controller sends a drive signal to the capping cylinder 4, driving the capping cylinder 4 to press the pump cap 2.

[0035] Preferably, see Appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, both the lifting adjustment block 61 along the Z-axis and the translation adjustment block 62 along the Y-axis are provided with screw holes, and the cylinder body 41 of the pressure cover cylinder 4 is fixed on the lifting adjustment block 61 or the translation adjustment block 62 by bolts.

[0036] Preferably, see Appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, the pressing end of the piston rod 42 of the capping cylinder 4 is also provided with a protective disc 9. The bottom area of ​​the protective disc 9 is larger than the top area of ​​the pump cover 2. During capping, the top of the pump cover 2 is contacted and pressed down by the protective disc 9 below the piston rod 42. As a structural element that contacts the pump cover 2 of the disinfectant bottle to be assembled, the protective disc 9 effectively increases the contact area with the pump cover 2, thereby reducing the pressure on the pump cover 2 during capping. This avoids the pump cover 2 being damaged when it is pressed tightly to the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1, thus ensuring the long-term stable operation of the automatic capping.

[0037] Furthermore, a flexible gasket (not shown in the figure) can be installed at the bottom of the protective disc 9 to avoid hard contact with the pump cover 2 when the cover is pressed, thereby improving the protection effect.

[0038] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
