Attached Figure Description

[0018] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, the accompanying drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly described below.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the bottle cap transfer module in one embodiment of the present invention;

[0020] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the feeding assembly. Detailed Implementation

[0021] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of this utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A bottle cap transfer module 800 includes: a support platform 810, a feeding component 820, and a transfer component 830. The feeding component 820 is fixedly disposed above the support platform 810 and includes a positioning plate 821. The positioning plate 821 has a first feeding groove 821a and a second feeding groove 821b. The transfer component 830 includes a support frame 831, a sliding seat 832, a fixed frame 833, a first driving cylinder 834, a first transfer suction cup 835, a second transfer suction cup 836, and a second driving cylinder 837. The sliding seat 832 is slidably connected to the support frame 831, and the fixed frame 833 is slidably connected to the sliding seat 832. The first driving cylinder... 834 is mounted on the sliding seat 832. The fixed frame 833 is lifted and displaced by the first driving cylinder 834. The first transfer suction cup 835 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 833. The first transfer suction cup 835 is used to pick up bottle caps on the first feeding groove 821a. The second transfer suction cup 836 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 833. The second transfer suction cup 836 is used to pick up bottle caps on the second feeding groove 821b. The second driving cylinder 837 is located on the side of the second transfer suction cup 836 away from the first transfer suction cup 835. The second driving cylinder 837 is used to drive the second transfer suction cup 836 to reciprocate towards the first transfer suction cup 835.

[0023] It should be noted that the bottle caps are fed into the first feeding trough 821a and the second feeding trough 821b by a vibrating feeding tray, so that the randomly placed bottle caps are arranged in an orderly manner. The support frame 831 is mounted on the machine platform, and the material tray is placed on the machine platform. The sliding seat 832 is slidably connected to the support frame 831. The sliding seat 832 slides through the support frame 831, and reciprocates from the feeding component 820 to the material tray. The fixed frame 833 is slidably connected to the sliding seat 832, and the fixed frame 833 is mounted on the sliding seat 832 by a first driving cylinder 834, so that the fixed frame 833 is raised and lowered by the first driving cylinder 834. A first transfer suction cup 835 and a second transfer suction cup 836 are respectively connected to a fixed frame 833. When the sliding seat 832 slides to the feeding assembly 820, the fixed frame 833 is driven to descend by the first drive cylinder 834, so that the first transfer suction cup 835 and the second transfer suction cup 836 respectively pick up the bottle caps on the first feeding groove 821a and the second feeding groove 821b. After the first transfer suction cup 835 and the second transfer suction cup 836 have finished picking up the material, the fixed frame 833 is driven to rise by the second drive cylinder 837, and the sliding seat 832 slides to the material tray through the support frame 831. At this time, the fixed frame 833 is again driven to rise by the second drive cylinder 837. Driven by the first driving cylinder 834, the bottle caps are lowered, causing the bottle caps on the first transfer suction cup 835 and the second transfer suction cup 836 to be transferred into the material tray, completing the transfer operation. The bottle cap transfer module 800 of this invention uses the first transfer suction cup 835 and the second transfer suction cup 836 to transfer bottle caps from the first feeding groove 821a and the second feeding groove 821b respectively, replacing manual transfer. This improves transfer efficiency and avoids production delays. Furthermore, using two transfer suction cups to transfer from two feeding grooves doubles the transfer efficiency. Because the distance between the first feeding groove 821a and the second feeding groove 821b is related to the material... The varying spacing between the accommodating cavities on the tray for holding bottle caps can easily affect the accuracy of cap transfer. A first transfer suction cup 835 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 833, and a second transfer suction cup 836 is slidably connected to the fixing frame 833. A second drive cylinder 837 drives the second transfer suction cup 836 to reciprocate towards the first transfer suction cup 835. This allows the distance between the first and second transfer suction cups 835 to be adjusted based on the distance between the first and second feed grooves 821a and 821b, as well as the spacing between the accommodating cavities on the tray, thereby improving the transfer accuracy of the bottle cap transfer assembly 830.

[0024] Please refer to it again. Figure 1In one embodiment, the material transfer assembly 830 further includes a connecting plate 838a and a third driving cylinder 838b. The connecting plate 838a is connected to the bottom of the third driving cylinder 838b. The first material transfer suction cup 835 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 838a, and the second material transfer suction cup 836 is slidably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 838a. This allows the third driving cylinder 838b to be connected to the first material transfer suction cup 835 and the second material transfer suction cup 836 via the connecting plate 838a. When the fixed frame 833 is driven to descend by the first driving cylinder 834, the third driving cylinder 838b drives the first material transfer suction cup 835 and the second material transfer suction cup 836 to continue descending. This avoids the first material transfer suction cup 835 and the second material transfer suction cup 836 from descending insufficiently and thus failing to successfully pick up the bottle cap.

[0025] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 In one embodiment, the transfer assembly 830 further includes a first vacuum pump 839a, which is disposed on the sliding seat 832, making the structure of the bottle cap transfer assembly 830 more compact. The first vacuum pump 839a is connected to the first transfer suction cup 835 through an air pipe. When the first transfer suction cup 835 picks up the bottle cap, the first vacuum pump 839a draws suction from the first transfer suction cup 835 through the air pipe, so that the first transfer suction cup 835 has an adsorption force.

[0026] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 In one embodiment, the transfer assembly 830 further includes a second vacuum pump 839b, which is mounted on the mounting bracket 833, making the structure of the bottle cap transfer assembly 830 more compact. The second vacuum pump 839b is connected to the second transfer suction cup 836 via an air pipe. When the second transfer suction cup 836 picks up the bottle cap, the second vacuum pump 839b draws suction from the second transfer suction cup 836 via the air pipe, giving the second transfer suction cup 836 an adsorption force. Furthermore, by providing independent vacuum pumps for the first transfer suction cup 835 and the second transfer suction cup 836, the stability of the adsorption of the bottle cap can be ensured.

[0027] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 In one embodiment, the first transfer suction cup 835 includes a plurality of first suction nozzles 835a, each of which is spaced apart to avoid mutual interference between adjacent first suction nozzles 835a. At the same time, it is adapted to the spacing distance of the receiving cavity on the material tray for receiving bottle caps, thereby improving the feeding accuracy of the first transfer suction cup 835.

[0028] Please refer to it again. Figure 1In one embodiment, the second transfer suction cup 836 includes a plurality of second suction nozzles 836a, each second suction nozzle 836a being spaced apart to avoid mutual interference between adjacent second suction nozzles 836a, and at the same time matching the spacing distance of the receiving cavity on the material tray for receiving bottle caps, thereby improving the feeding accuracy of the second transfer suction cup 836.

[0029] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 In one embodiment, the material transfer assembly 830 further includes a servo motor 831a, which is disposed at one end of the support frame 831. The servo motor 831a precisely controls the displacement of the sliding seat 832, thereby improving the positioning accuracy.

[0030] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 Since the bottle caps are sequentially attached to the first feed trough 821a and the second feed trough 821b, the attached bottle caps are prone to interference with each other, which may cause the bottle caps to fall off due to shaking during the material transfer process. In one embodiment, the feeding assembly 820 also includes a first feeding area 822, a second feeding area 823, and a plurality of sliding transfer strips 824. The first feeding area 822 is disposed between the first feed trough 821a and the second feed trough 821b, and the second feeding area 823 is disposed on the side of the second feed trough 821b away from the first feed trough 821a. The positioning plate 821 has a plurality of through slots 821c, which are spaced apart and perpendicular to the first feed trough 821a and the second feed trough 821b. Each sliding transfer strip 824 is... The sliding transfer strips 824 are spaced apart and are positioned on each of the through slots 821c. The sliding transfer strips 824 are used to move the bottle caps on the first feed slot 821a and the second feed slot 821b to the first feeding area 822 and the second feeding area 823, respectively. When the first feed slot 821a and the second feed slot 821b are filled with bottle caps, the sliding transfer strips 824 are moved to the first feeding area 822 and the second feeding area 823 by sliding the sliding transfer strips 824. This separates the sequentially attached bottle caps. The first transfer suction cup 835 and the second transfer suction cup 836 then pick up the material from the first feeding area 822 and the second feeding area 823, which can prevent the attached bottle caps from interfering with each other during the material transfer process.

[0031] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the feeding assembly 820 further includes a transfer guide rail 825 and a fixing plate 826. The transfer guide rail 825 is disposed on the support platform 810. The bottom of the fixing plate 826 is slidably connected to the transfer guide rail 825, and the top of the fixing plate 826 is fixedly connected to each sliding transfer bar 824. By pushing the fixing plate 826, each sliding transfer bar 824 can slide uniformly, thereby improving the feeding accuracy.

[0032] Please refer to it again. Figure 2In one embodiment, the feeding assembly 820 further includes a fourth driving cylinder 827 and a positioning member 828. The fourth driving cylinder 827 is disposed on one side of the fixed plate 826, and the positioning member 828 is disposed on the other side of the fixed plate 826. This can prevent the sliding position of the sliding material transfer bar 824 from being too precise and further improve the feeding accuracy.

[0033] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
