[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a capping head for a capping machine, including a rotating shaft 1, a transmission assembly 101 mounted on the rotating shaft 1, a transition shaft 2 connected to one end of the rotating shaft 1, a buffer assembly 3 connected to one end of the transition shaft 2, a fixing assembly 4 connected to one end of the buffer assembly 3, and a clamping assembly 5 mounted on the fixing assembly 4.

[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a capping head for a capping machine. The clamping assembly 5 includes a first fixing plate 501 mounted on the fixing assembly 4. The first fixing plate 501 is provided with a plurality of support seats 502. A pressing plate 504 is rotatably mounted on the support seat 502. A return spring 503 is connected between the pressing plate 504 and the first fixing plate 501 for rotating and resetting the pressing plate 504.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a capping head for a capping machine. The clamping assembly 5 further includes an expansion assembly 505 disposed within the rotating shaft 1. The expansion assembly 505 includes an air pipe 5051 disposed within the rotating shaft 1. One end of the air pipe 5051 is connected to an air bladder 5052. The air bladder 5052 is disposed between the pressure plates 504 and is used for rotating the pressure plates 504.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a capping head for a capping machine. The transmission assembly 101 includes a gear 1011 mounted on the rotating shaft 1 for rotating the capping head.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a capping head for a capping machine. The buffer assembly 3 includes a first buffer plate 301 installed at one end of the transition shaft 2. A first buffer spring 302 is installed inside the first buffer plate 301 and is connected to the fixing assembly 4.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a capping head for a capping machine. The fixing component 4 includes a first transition plate 401 connected to the first buffer spring 302. The first transition plate 401 is connected to a first outer support plate 402. The first outer support plate 402 is equipped with a first fixing plate 501.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a capping head for a capping machine, wherein the pressure plate 504 includes a first connecting body 5041 rotatably connected to the support base 502, and a clamping body 5042 connected to the first connecting body 5041.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a capping head for a capping machine, wherein the clamping body 5042 is designed in an arc shape.

The clamping assembly 5 then clamps the bottle cap.

[0039] During the clamping process, the pneumatic device blows air into the air tube 5051, which inflates the air bladder 5052 connected to the air tube 5051. The air bladder 5052 then pushes open the pressure plate 504. The pressure plate 504 rotates on the support base 502 and then opens to clamp the bottle cap.

[0040] Meanwhile, the buffer assembly 3 has a certain buffering effect on the bottle cap clamping and capping process. The first outer support plate 402 moves along the first transition plate 401, and under the action of the first buffer spring 302, the first outer support plate 402 plays a certain buffering role to ensure the stability of the twisting process.
