Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment technology, specifically to a capping structure for filling beer. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial production process of beer, the capping process after bottling is a key link to ensure the sealing performance and shelf life of the product. Its technical level directly affects production efficiency, product quality and production cost. At present, beer producers have put forward increasingly stringent requirements for the automation level, positioning accuracy and operational stability of capping equipment, but there are still many problems that need to be solved in the existing technology.

[0003] Traditional beer capping equipment generally suffers from low automation integration. Small and medium-sized breweries mostly use semi-automated production lines, requiring manual placement of each filled bottle at the capping station, followed by manual removal after capping. Insufficient positioning accuracy is the core bottleneck restricting capping quality. Existing equipment often relies on a single guide groove or mechanical stop for bottle positioning. When the bottle has a height deviation due to filling errors, capping is prone to misalignment, resulting in inconsistent engagement depth between the cap and the bottle neck.

[0004] With the beer industry's increasing demands for production efficiency, product quality, and safe production, developing a capping structure that combines high automation, precise positioning, flexible capping, and safety monitoring has become key to breaking through existing technological bottlenecks. Utility Model Content

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] This utility model provides a capping structure for beer bottling, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The capping structure for this beer filling system, through the coordinated rotation of a positioning plate and a drive wheel, allows the bottle and cap to move under the pressure block. The shape of the protrusion pushes the guide rod downwards, and the pressure block then presses the cap onto the bottle, ensuring precise bottle positioning during capping. This reduces capping quality issues caused by positioning deviations, improves product yield, and, through the cyclical rotation between the positioning plate and the drive wheel, enables automatic conveying of beer bottles via a chain conveyor belt. Combined with the motor-driven drive wheel and other transmission structures, this reduces manual intervention, increases the automation level of the capping process, and enhances overall production efficiency.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a capping structure for filling beer, including a support frame 1 and a baffle 7. A chain conveyor belt 4 is provided on the top of the support frame 1. A motor 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of one side of the support frame 1. The output end of the motor 9 is connected to a drive wheel 10 via a key drive. A guide groove 11 is provided on the outer wall of the drive wheel 10. A positioning plate 14 is rotatably provided above the drive wheel 10. A limit ring 15 is fixedly installed on the upper side of one side of the baffle 7. A protrusion 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the limit ring 15. An insertion hole 17 is provided on the outer surface of the positioning plate 14. A guide rod 18 is slidably connected below the insertion hole 17. A pressure block 19 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the guide rod 18. A compression spring 20 is sleeved on one end of the guide rod 18 that passes through the insertion hole 17. A limit block 21 is threadedly connected to the end of the guide rod 18.

[0025] In this embodiment, the support frame 1 serves as the basic framework of the entire equipment, used to fix and support all components such as the chain conveyor belt 4, motor 9, drive wheel 10, and positioning plate 14, forming a stable mechanical structure. This ensures the relative position stability of each component during operation, preventing structural displacement due to vibration or stress, providing rigid support for the capping process, and ensuring the overall reliable operation of the equipment. The chain conveyor belt 4 is located on top of the support frame 1 and is used to transport filled beer bottles, conveying the bottles to be capped from the feeding end to the capping station, and then conveying them to the discharging end after capping. This achieves automated conveying of beer bottles, replacing manual handling and reducing labor costs. Continuous transmission ensures the continuity of the capping process, improving efficiency and reliability. To improve production efficiency and adapt to industrial assembly line operations, the motor 9 is fixed in the middle of one side of the support frame 1, serving as a power source. It drives the drive wheel 10 to rotate via a key transmission at the output end, providing continuous and stable power to the entire capping structure. This ensures the coordinated operation of components such as the drive wheel 10 and the positioning plate 14, replacing manual power input and automating the capping process. This improves production efficiency and operational stability. The drive wheel 10, driven by the motor 9, has a guide groove 11 on its outer wall to receive beer bottles conveyed by the chain conveyor belt 4. The guide groove 11 precisely positions the beer bottles, ensuring they remain vertical and stable during rotation. Simultaneously, the rotation sequentially transfers the bottles to the capping mechanism. The capping station, in conjunction with the positioning plate 14, achieves timing control of the capping action, improving the continuity and positioning accuracy of capping. A guide groove 11 is formed on the outer wall of the drive wheel 10, its shape adapted to the beer bottle body, conforming to the bottle's contour, limiting radial swaying of the bottle when the drive wheel 10 rotates, preventing the bottle from tipping or shifting, and ensuring precise alignment of the bottle mouth with the capping block 19 during capping, reducing capping quality problems caused by positioning deviations. The positioning plate 14 is rotatably mounted above the drive wheel 10, with insertion holes 17 on its outer surface. Rotation drives the guide rod 18 and the capping block 19 to move. When the bottle enters the capping station, the positioning plate 14 simultaneously conveys the capping block 19 directly above the bottle mouth, cooperating with the protrusion 16 to achieve the capping action. Precise triggering ensures that the capping timing matches the bottle position. The limiting ring 15 is fixed above one side of the baffle 7, and a protrusion 16 is installed at the bottom, corresponding to the position directly above the capping station. This provides a fixed base for the protrusion 16, ensuring that the position of the protrusion 16 is stable. This ensures that the downward pressing action of the guide rod 18 is precise and consistent, improving the stability of the capping force. The protrusion 16 is fixed at the bottom of the limiting ring 156. When the guide rod 18 moves below it as the positioning plate 14 rotates, the protrusion 16 will contact the top of the guide rod 18 and apply downward pressure. As the triggering component for the capping action, the guide rod 18 is pushed downward through mechanical contact, indirectly driving the pressing block 19 to complete the capping, replacing manual pressing and realizing the automation of capping.The contour design of the protrusion 16 controls the capping stroke, preventing excessive instantaneous impact force. The insertion hole 17 is located on the outer surface of the positioning plate 14 and is used to slide and connect the guide rod 18, limiting the radial displacement of the guide rod 18 and ensuring that it can only move axially. This ensures the verticality of the pressure block 19 during capping and prevents uneven pressure on the bottle cap caused by the misalignment of the guide rod 18. It also provides a movement channel for the guide rod 18, meeting the stroke requirements for capping and resetting. The bottom of the guide rod 18 is connected to the pressure block 19, and the top passes through the insertion hole 17, allowing it to slide up and down along the insertion hole 17. As a force transmission component, it transmits the downward pressure of the protrusion 16 to the pressure block 19, driving the capping action. Simultaneously, under the action of the compression spring 20, the pressure block 19 is reset after capping, achieving continuous capping and serving as a trigger. The core structure of the component and the actuator is the pressure block 19, which is fixed to the bottom of the guide rod 18 and directly contacts the bottle cap. It applies the force transmitted by the guide rod 18 to the bottle cap, pressing the cap firmly against the bottle opening to complete the sealing engagement. Its shape is typically adapted to the bottle cap's contour to ensure even force distribution and prevent excessive local compression that could cause cap deformation or bottle opening damage. The compression spring 20 is sleeved on one end of the guide rod 18 that protrudes from the insertion hole 17, with its two ends abutting against the positioning plate 14 and the limiting block 21, respectively. During capping, it is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the protrusion 16 leaves the guide rod 18, the elastic force drives the guide rod 18 and the pressure block 19 to reset, preparing for the next capping operation. Simultaneously, through elastic buffering, it prevents excessive instantaneous capping force, achieving "flexible capping" and protecting the bottle and cap from damage.

[0026] In the above embodiments, as a preferred solution, support plates 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the support frame 1. Anti-slip pads 3 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the support plates 2. By fixing the support plates 2 to both sides of the bottom of the support frame 1, the contact area between the support frame 1 and the ground is increased, the overall weight of the equipment is distributed, the pressure on the ground is reduced, and the equipment is prevented from sinking into the ground due to its own weight or working vibration, thereby improving the stability of the equipment placement. The anti-slip pads 3 are installed on the bottom of the support plates 2 and are made of anti-slip materials such as rubber, which increases the friction between the support plates 2 and the ground, preventing the equipment from sliding under conditions such as motor 9 driving and pressure plate impact, further improving the stability of the equipment during operation and reducing positioning deviations caused by displacement.

[0027] In the above embodiment, as a preferred solution, a guide plate 5 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the support frame 1, and a retaining ring 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the support frame 1. The guide plate 5 is fixed to the middle of the top of the support frame 1, located on the side of the chain conveyor belt 4, to guide the movement direction of the beer bottle on the chain conveyor belt 4, to prevent the bottle from deviating due to vibration and collision during the conveying process, and to ensure that the bottle accurately enters the guide groove 11 of the drive wheel 10, providing a basis for subsequent positioning and capping. The retaining ring 6 is fixed to one side of the top of the support frame 1, surrounding the periphery of the capping station, to perform secondary positioning of the beer bottle entering the capping area, to limit the radial displacement of the bottle, to ensure that the bottle is in the preset center position when capping, to avoid capping offset caused by bottle tilting, and to improve positioning accuracy.

[0028] In the above embodiments, as a preferred solution, a baffle 7 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the retaining ring 6, and a transparent plate 8 is fixedly installed in the middle of the outer surface of the baffle 7. The baffle 7 is fixed to the outer surface of the retaining ring 6 to form a protective barrier in the capping area, preventing the bottle cap from falling off, the bottle from tipping over, or fragments from flying during the capping process, thus ensuring the safety of the operator. The transparent plate 8 is installed in the middle of the outer surface of the baffle 7 and is made of transparent material. Without affecting the protective function of the baffle 7, it is convenient for the operator to observe the capping process in real time, promptly detect abnormalities such as bottle cap tilting or bottles not being in place, facilitate quick machine stop and adjustment, and reduce the production of defective products.

[0029] In the above embodiment, as a preferred solution, a support base 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the drive wheel 10, and a drive shaft 13 is inserted into the middle of the support base 12. The support base 12 is fixed to the top of the drive wheel 10, and a hole is opened in the middle for inserting the drive shaft 13. The support base 12 supports and positions the drive shaft 13, ensuring the stability of the axis of the drive shaft 13 during rotation, reducing radial runout, improving transmission accuracy, and ensuring the synchronization of the drive wheel 10 and the positioning plate 14. One end of the drive shaft 13 is connected to the drive wheel 10 via a key, and the other end is connected to the positioning plate 14 to transmit driving force, transmitting the power of the motor 9 from the drive wheel 10 to the positioning plate 14, so that the two keep rotating synchronously, ensuring that the timing of the capping action and the bottle conveying is matched, and improving the coordination of various components of the equipment.

[0030] In the above embodiments, as a preferred option, one end of the drive shaft 13 is connected to the top of the drive wheel 10 via a key, and the other end of the drive shaft 13 is connected via a key.

[0031] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.

[0032] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0033] First, start the equipment, connect the power supply, start the motor 9, drive the wheel 10 to rotate through the motor 9, and at the same time drive the transmission shaft 13 and the positioning plate 14 to rotate synchronously.

[0034] Secondly, the chain conveyor belt 4 transports the beer bottles to the capping station. Guided by the guide plate 5, the bottles enter the guide groove 11 of the drive wheel 10. The guide groove 11 fits the bottle body and restricts radial sway. With the secondary positioning of the retaining ring 6, it ensures that the bottle keeps its axis vertical during rotation and moves accurately to the bottom of the capping station.

[0035] Then, the positioning disk 14 rotates synchronously with the drive wheel 10. When the guide rod 18 on the positioning disk 14 moves to below the protrusion 16 at the bottom of the limiting ring 15, the protrusion 16 contacts the top of the guide rod 18 and applies downward pressure. The guide rod 18 slides down along the insertion hole 17, the compression spring 20 is compressed, and the bottom pressure block 19 moves down accordingly, pressing the bottle cap tightly onto the bottle mouth to complete the sealing engagement.

[0036] Finally, the positioning plate 14 continues to rotate, the guide rod 18 disengages from the protrusion 16, the compression spring 20 releases its elastic potential energy, and pushes the guide rod 18 and the pressure block 19 to reset, preparing for the next capping. The capped beer bottle is driven by the drive wheel 10 to rotate and disengage from the guide groove 11, and is transported to the discharge end by the chain conveyor belt 4. The operator can observe the capping process in real time through the transparent plate 8 on the baffle 7 to check whether the bottle cap is pressed tightly and whether it is crooked or falls off.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
