Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated bottle cap assembly equipment, and in particular to a bottle cap assembly and testing device. Background Technology

[0002] The automated bottle cap assembly equipment is a device that automates the assembly of bottle caps. It mainly includes a base, a turntable, a feeding mechanism, and a discharging mechanism. The turntable is rotatably connected to the base and has an upward-opening assembly slot. The feeding and discharging mechanisms are arranged sequentially in the rotation direction of the turntable. The feeding mechanism sequentially conveys the various components that make up the bottle cap, such as the outer cap and gasket, towards the assembly slot. The discharging mechanism pushes the assembled bottle cap away from the turntable. Because bottle caps consist of multiple components, during automated assembly, occasionally a component may be missing or over-assembled, resulting in defective products. Due to the small size of each component, defective products are difficult for workers to identify visually after assembly. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bottle cap assembly detection device to solve the problem that existing automated bottle cap assembly equipment has difficulty in identifying defective bottle caps with missing or extra parts.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A bottle cap assembly and inspection device includes a base, a turntable, a push rod, a positioning component, an inspection mechanism, and a feeding mechanism. The turntable is rotatably connected to the base and spaced apart from the top surface of the base. The push rod is hung on the turntable and extends out of the turntable at its lower end. The push rod can move up and down relative to the turntable and can close with the turntable to form an upward-opening assembly groove. The feeding mechanism is used to convey components that make up the bottle cap into the assembly groove. The inspection mechanism includes a lifting component, a mounting component, a pressure block, a swing arm, and a proximity switch. The lifting component is located on the top surface of the base and allows the push rod to move along its top surface. The mounting component is located on one side of the lifting component, and the pressure block is located on the lifting component. The upper part is movable and protrudes from the top surface of the lifting member or retracts into the lifting member. The swing arm is rotatably connected to the mounting member and connected to the pressure block. When the pressure block moves up and down, it drives the swing arm to swing up and down. The proximity switch is located on the top surface of the base and is directly opposite the end of the swing arm away from the pressure block. The positioning member is fixed on the turntable and located above the top rod. When the top rod abuts against the pressure block, the positioning member cooperates with the top rod to clamp the bottle cap. When the top rod moves along the top surface of the lifting member and abuts against the pressure block, the pressure block is pressed down and drives the swing arm to swing upward. When the top rod moves away from the pressure block, the pressure block moves up and drives the swing arm to swing downward.

[0006] Furthermore, the swing arm is made of metal, and the proximity switch is a capacitive proximity switch or an inductive proximity switch.

[0007] Furthermore, the lifting member is provided with an elastic element, which is located at the lower end of the pressure block and is used to drive the pressure block to move upward and protrude from the top surface of the lifting member.

[0008] Furthermore, the base is provided with a receiving hole opening on its top surface, and the proximity switch is received in the receiving hole and partially protrudes from the top surface of the base.

[0009] Furthermore, the pressure block is provided with a connecting rod connected to the swing arm, and the swing arm is provided with a sliding groove extending along its length direction. When the pressure block moves up and down, the end of the connecting rod connected to the swing arm moves along the sliding groove, causing the swing arm to swing up and down.

[0010] Furthermore, a roller is provided at one end of the connecting rod that is connected to the swing arm. The roller is housed in the groove and can rotate relative to the connecting rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting member has a pressing surface and a guiding surface forming its top surface, the guiding surface being disposed on one side of the pressing surface and inclined downward in a direction away from the pressing surface, and the pressing block protruding from or retracting from the pressing surface of the lifting member.

[0012] Furthermore, the positioning member is provided with a positioning hole for the upper end of the top rod to be inserted.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a gasket conveying assembly and an outer cover conveying assembly disposed on one side of the turntable. The gasket conveying assembly, the outer cover conveying assembly, and the detection mechanism are sequentially arranged in the rotation direction of the turntable. The gasket conveying assembly includes a gasket vibrating plate and a gasket conveying track. The gasket conveying track extends from the output end of the gasket vibrating plate to one side of the turntable. The outer cover conveying assembly includes an outer cover vibrating plate and an outer cover conveying track. The outer cover conveying track extends from the output end of the outer cover vibrating plate to one side of the turntable. There are several push rods, which are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the turntable. The turntable rotates relative to the base in an indexing manner, causing each assembly slot to sequentially rotate to one side of the output end of the gasket conveying track and the output end of the outer cover conveying track.

[0014] The advantages of this technical solution are that by configuring a turntable, a push rod, a positioning component, a lifting component, a pressure block, a swing arm, and a proximity switch, the push rod and the turntable together form an assembly groove. When the push rod moves along the top surface of the lifting component, the upper end cooperates with the positioning component to clamp the bottle cap, and the lower end presses against the pressure block, causing the pressure block to move down and drive the swing arm to swing up. The proximity switch determines whether the swing arm has swung to the target position after the swing arm has swung to the correct position, thereby realizing the screening of defective products. The screening structure is simple and easy to implement. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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.

[0026] Example: Figure 1-8As shown, the bottle cap assembly and testing device includes a base 1, a turntable 2, a push rod 3, a positioning component 4, a testing mechanism 5, and a feeding mechanism 6. The turntable 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1 and spaced apart from the top surface of the base 1. The push rod 3 is hung on the turntable 2 and extends out of the turntable 2 at its lower end. The push rod 3 can move up and down relative to the turntable 2 and can close with the turntable 2 to form an upward-opening assembly groove 201. The feeding mechanism 6 is used to convey the components that make up the bottle cap to the assembly groove 201. The testing mechanism 5 includes a lifting component 501, a mounting component 502, a pressure block 503, a swing arm 504, and a proximity switch 505. The lifting component 501 is located on the top surface of the base 1 and allows the push rod 3 to move along its top surface. The mounting component 502 is located on one side of the lifting component 501, and the pressure block 503 is located on the top surface of the base 1. The lifting member 501 is movable and protrudes from the top surface of the lifting member 501 or retracts into the lifting member 501. The swing arm 504 is rotatably connected to the mounting member 502 and connected to the pressure block 503. When the pressure block 503 moves up and down, it drives the swing arm 504 to swing up and down. The proximity switch 505 is located on the top surface of the base 1 and faces the end of the swing arm 504 away from the pressure block 503. The positioning member 4 is fixed on the turntable 2 and located above the top rod 3. When the top rod 3 abuts against the pressure block 503, the positioning member 4 cooperates with the top rod 3 to clamp the bottle cap. When the top rod 3 moves along the top surface of the lifting member 501 and abuts against the pressure block 503, the pressure block 503 is pressed down and drives the swing arm 504 to swing upward. When the top rod 3 moves away from the pressure block 503, the pressure block 503 moves up and drives the swing arm 504 to swing downward.

[0027] When the top rod 3 is not moved to the top surface of the lifting component 501, the top rod 3 is hung on the turntable 2 and forms an upward-opening assembly groove 201 with the turntable 2. When the top rod 3 moves to the top surface of the lifting component 501, the top rod 3 moves upward relative to the turntable 2. When the top rod 3 stops on the pressure block 503, the top rod 3 moves to the highest point and cooperates with the positioning component 4 to clamp each component so that each component is assembled. When the bottle cap is assembled correctly, the top rod 3 presses against the pressure block 503, causing the swing arm 504 to swing to a position defined as the target position of the swing arm 504. The proximity switch 505 is used to determine whether the real-time position of the swing arm 504 is consistent with the target position. When the real-time position of the swing arm 504 is consistent with the target position, it outputs signal one. When the real-time position of the swing arm 504 is inconsistent with the target position, it outputs signal two. The base 1 is equipped with an electronic control board for receiving the signal from the proximity switch 505. When the proximity switch 505 sends signal two, the electronic control board prompts the user that a defective product has appeared, such as by displaying an alarm light or sound, thereby filtering out defective products.

[0028] Correspondingly, the base 1 is equipped with an alarm light or alarm sound that is controlled by the electronic control board.

[0029] Specifically, the proximity switch 505 may be, but is not limited to, a capacitive proximity switch or an inductive proximity switch, and the swing arm 504 may be, but is not limited to, made of metal. When the real-time position of the swing arm 504 is consistent with the target position, the proximity switch 505 outputs ON (or 1), and when the real-time position of the swing arm 504 is inconsistent with the target position, the proximity switch 505 outputs OFF (or 0). When the proximity switch 505 sends OFF (or 0), the electronic control board prompts the user that a defective product has occurred. The proximity switch 505, the electronic control board, the alarm light, and the alarm sounder are all existing products and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] When assembling bottle caps using this bottle cap assembly and testing device, the steps are as follows:

[0031] First, set the target position of the swing arm 504 according to the thickness when the bottle cap is correctly assembled;

[0032] Next, the turntable 2 rotates, causing the assembly slot 201 to rotate to one side of the feeding mechanism 6;

[0033] Next, the feeding mechanism 6 conveys the various components that make up the bottle cap to the assembly slot 201;

[0034] Next, the turntable 2 rotates to move the top rod 3 along the top surface of the lifting member 501. When the lower end of the top rod 3 presses against the pressure block 503, the upper end of the top rod 3 cooperates with the positioning member 4 to clamp the bottle cap. The downward pressure of the top rod 3 drives the pressure block 503 to move down, and the downward movement of the pressure block 503 drives the swing arm 504 to swing up.

[0035] Finally, the proximity switch 505 determines whether the swing arm 504 has swung to the target position.

[0036] In summary, this embodiment provides a bottle cap assembly detection device to solve the problem that existing automated bottle cap assembly equipment has difficulty identifying defective bottle caps with missing or multiple parts. It mainly uses a turntable 2, a push rod 3, a positioning component 4, a lifting component 501, a pressure block 503, a swing arm 504, and a proximity switch 505. The push rod 3 and the turntable 2 together form an assembly groove 201. When the push rod 3 moves along the top surface of the lifting component 501, its upper end cooperates with the positioning component 4 to clamp the bottle cap, and its lower end presses against the pressure block 503, causing the pressure block 503 to move down and drive the swing arm 504 to swing up. The proximity switch 505 determines whether the swing arm 504 has swung to the target position after the swing arm 504 has swung to the correct position, thereby realizing the screening of defective products. The screening structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, an elastic element 7 is provided inside the lifting member 501. The elastic element 7 is located at the lower end of the pressure block 503 and is used to drive the pressure block 503 to move upward and protrude from the top surface of the lifting member 501. Specifically, the elastic element 7 is a spring. The above arrangement, by configuring the elastic element 7 inside the lifting member 501 to drive the pressure block 503 to move upward and return to its original position, allows the pressure block 503 to move upward and return to its original position. At the same time, when the bottle cap is missing a part (thinning), the pressure block 503 can move upward and drive the swing arm 504 to deviate from the target position, resulting in a better screening effect.

[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, the base 1 is provided with a receiving hole 102 opening on its top surface. The proximity switch 505 is housed in the receiving hole 102 and partially protrudes from the top surface of the base 1. The above arrangement, by configuring the receiving hole 102 on the base 1 to house the proximity switch 505, ensures stable assembly of the proximity switch 505 and the base 1 and provides excellent detection performance.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the pressure block 503 is provided with a connecting rod 500 connected to the swing arm 504, and the swing arm 504 is provided with a sliding groove 506 extending along its length. When the pressure block 503 moves up and down, the end of the connecting rod 500 connected to the swing arm 504 moves along the sliding groove 506, causing the swing arm 504 to swing up and down. This arrangement, by configuring the sliding groove 506 on the swing arm 504 that is slidably connected to the connecting rod 500, allows the pressure block 503 to move up and down, thereby driving the swing arm 504 to swing up and down.

[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, a roller 509 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 500 connected to the swing arm 504. The roller 509 is housed in the slide groove 506 and can rotate relative to the connecting rod 500. This arrangement, by configuring the roller 509 at one end of the connecting rod 500 connected to the swing arm 504, ensures smooth sliding of the connecting rod 500 as it moves along the slide groove 506.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, the lifting member 501 has a pressing surface 507 and a guiding surface 508 forming its top surface. The guiding surface 508 is located on one side of the pressing surface 507 and is inclined downward in a direction away from the pressing surface 507. The pressing block 503 protrudes from or retracts from the lifting member 501 from the pressing surface 507. By configuring the top surface of the lifting member 501 as a pressing surface 507 and a guiding surface 508, and by having the guiding surface 508 located on one side of the pressing surface 507 and inclined downward in a direction away from the pressing surface 507, it is convenient to guide the push rod 3 to or away from the pressing surface 507, and the push rod 3 moves smoothly along the top surface of the guiding surface 508.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, the positioning member 4 is provided with a positioning hole 401 for inserting the upper end of the push rod 3. This arrangement, by providing the positioning hole 401 for inserting the upper end of the push rod 3 into the positioning member 4, ensures a stable fit between the positioning member 4 and the push rod 3 when clamping the bottle cap.

[0043] In this embodiment of the utility model, the feeding mechanism 6 includes a gasket conveying assembly 601 and an outer cover conveying assembly 602 disposed on one side of the turntable 2. The gasket conveying assembly 601, the outer cover conveying assembly 602 and the detection mechanism 5 are arranged sequentially in the rotation direction of the turntable 2. The gasket conveying assembly 601 includes a gasket vibrating plate 603 and a gasket conveying track 604. The gasket conveying track 604 extends from the output end of the gasket vibrating plate 603 to one side of the turntable 2. The outer cover conveying assembly 602 includes an outer cover vibrating plate 605 and an outer cover conveying track 606. The outer cover conveying track 606 extends from the output end of the outer cover vibrating plate 605 to one side of the turntable 2. There are several push rods 3, which are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the turntable 2. The turntable 2 rotates relative to the base 1 at intervals, causing each assembly slot 201 to rotate sequentially to the output end of the gasket conveying track 604 and the output end of the outer cover conveying track 606. When the assembly slot 201 rotates to the output end of the gasket conveying track 604, the gasket conveying assembly 601 conveys the gasket towards the assembly slot 201. When the assembly slot 201 rotates to the output end of the outer cover conveying track 606, the outer cover conveying assembly 602 conveys the outer cover towards the assembly slot 201. At this time, the outer cover is stacked on the gasket. When the push rod 3 moves along the top surface of the lifting member 501, the push rod 3 moves upward as a whole. When the lower end of the push rod 3 presses against the pressure block 503, the upper end of the push rod 3 pushes the gasket into the outer cover and cooperates with the positioning member 4 to clamp the bottle cap.

[0044] The specific configuration of the feeding mechanism 6 is determined by the types of parts required to assemble the bottle cap. For example, if the bottle cap is composed of three, four, or five parts, the feeding mechanism 6 will be configured to have three, four, or five feeding components. Each feeding component will feed the parts to the assembly slot 201. The parts will be stacked in the assembly slot 201 and assembled by the pressure of the upper end of the top rod 3 when the lower end of the top rod 3 presses against the pressure block 503. This will not be described in detail here.
