Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated assembly technology, and in particular to a capping machine with stable capping. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, containers for condiments such as syrups, like bottles, typically require screwing on the cap after the condiment is added. To improve efficiency and save manpower, there are solutions that use equipment to complete the capping process. However, these solutions usually have the following drawbacks: existing capping machines only use a screwing mechanism to twist the cap. Since the bottle body is not fixed, issues such as loose caps, crooked caps, or no caps may occur due to force problems, resulting in suboptimal quality of operation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a capping machine with stable capping, which can fix the bottle body before screwing on the cap to ensure the stability of the capping action.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model provides a capping machine with stable capping, including a machine body, a transmission mechanism, a vision module, and a capping mechanism, all disposed on the machine body. The transmission mechanism is used to transport the bottle body, the vision module is used to identify whether the bottle body is qualified, and the capping mechanism is used to cap qualified bottles. The machine body is also provided with a clamping mechanism, which includes a frame, a bidirectional cylinder, and two clamping parts. The frame is installed on the machine body, the bidirectional cylinder is installed on the frame, and the two clamping parts are respectively installed on the two output ends of the bidirectional cylinder. The two clamping parts are respectively provided with arc-shaped grooves at their opposite ends. The shape of the arc-shaped grooves is adapted to the shape of the bottle body, and the two clamping parts cooperate to clamp and fix the bottle body.

[0006] Furthermore, the frame is an L-shaped frame, and a two-way cylinder is installed at the bottom of the frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the two output ends of the bidirectional cylinder are respectively provided with mounting plates, the mounting plates have first screw holes, the clamping member is provided with connecting arms, the connecting arms are provided with second screw holes, and the first screw hole and the second screw hole are connected and fixed by screws.

[0008] Furthermore, the capping mechanism includes a lifting module and a capping module. The capping module is located directly above the clamping mechanism, and the lifting module is used to drive the capping module to move up and down.

[0009] The vision module is used to identify whether the top of the bottle is equipped with a cap, and the capping module is used to cap bottles that are equipped with caps.

[0010] Furthermore, the output end of the capping module is detachably equipped with a capping head.

[0011] Furthermore, there are multiple capping mechanisms and multiple clamping mechanisms, with each capping mechanism corresponding to a specific clamping mechanism, and the capping mechanisms are arranged side by side.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism also includes a lifting driver, which is used to drive the frame to lift.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamping member is equipped with a sensor for sensing whether the clamping member is in contact with the bottle body.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a clamping mechanism, this utility model uses the clamping mechanism to clamp the bottle body to achieve the positioning of the bottle body, so that the capping mechanism can more stably tighten the cap on the bottle body, thereby ensuring the quality of the operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the present invention provides a capping machine with stable capping, including a machine body 1, a transmission mechanism 2, a vision module 3, and a capping mechanism 4, all disposed on the machine body 1. The transmission mechanism 2 is used to transmit the bottle body, the vision module 3 is used to identify whether the bottle body is qualified, and the capping mechanism 4 is used to cap qualified bottles. The machine body 1 is also provided with a clamping mechanism 5, which includes a frame 51, a bidirectional cylinder 52, and two clamping parts 53. The frame 51 is installed on the machine body 1, the bidirectional cylinder 52 is installed on the frame 51, and the two clamping parts 53 are respectively installed on the two output ends of the bidirectional cylinder 52. The ends of the two clamping parts 53 facing each other are respectively provided with arc-shaped grooves 54. The shape of the arc-shaped grooves 54 is adapted to the shape of the bottle body, and the two clamping parts 53 cooperate to clamp and fix the bottle body.

[0020] In operation, the bottle is transported by the transmission mechanism 2, allowing it to be identified by the vision module 3. The vision module 3 primarily identifies the bottle's position and whether it has a cap. If the bottle does not have a cap, it is deemed unqualified, and subsequent actions are not performed. If the bottle has a cap, it is positioned as soon as it is identified. At this point, the bidirectional cylinder 52 controls two clamping parts 53 to move closer together, using the arc-shaped groove 54 to abut against the bottle, thus clamping the bottle. Subsequently, the capping mechanism screws the cap onto the bottle, ensuring it is tightened. Because the bottle is clamped by the clamping mechanism 5 during the capping process, it is essentially held firmly, resulting in higher quality capping and significantly reducing the occurrence of loose, misaligned, or even cap-falling-off caps.

[0021] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 2 is a conventional structure, such as a track structure or a belt structure, which will not be described further here.

[0022] In this embodiment, the frame 51 is an L-shaped frame, and the bidirectional cylinder 52 is installed at the bottom of the frame 51. The L-shaped frame 51 is easier to assemble and can effectively utilize the space on the machine body 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, the two output ends of the bidirectional cylinder 52 are respectively provided with mounting plates 55. The mounting plates 55 have first screw holes, and the clamping member 53 is provided with a connecting arm 531. The connecting arm 531 is provided with a second screw hole 57. The first screw hole and the second screw hole 57 are connected and fixed by screws 56. This utility model uses screws 56 to fix the connecting arm 531 and the mounting plate 55, which makes the disassembly and assembly of the two simple. Moreover, the clamping member 53 can be replaced with a suitable one according to the size of the bottle body to be capped, which improves the efficiency of replacement and makes the utility model more flexible.

[0024] In this embodiment, the capping mechanism 4 includes a lifting module 41 and a capping module 42. The capping module 42 is located directly above the clamping mechanism 5, and the lifting module 41 is used to drive the capping module 42 to move up and down.

[0025] The vision module 3 is used to identify whether the top of the bottle is equipped with a cap, and the capping module 42 is used to cap bottles that are equipped with caps.

[0026] In actual use, the lifting module 41 is preferably an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, while the capping module 42 is a conventional module. Since the vision module 3 can identify whether there is a cap on the top of the bottle, if the bottle is not identified as having a cap, neither the clamping mechanism 5 nor the capping mechanism 4 will perform any action, allowing the bottle to flow to the next process for processing.

[0027] Specifically, the output end of the capping module 42 is detachably equipped with a capping head 43, meaning that the capping head 43 of this utility model can also be replaced according to the actual cap specifications.

[0028] In this embodiment, there are multiple capping mechanisms 4 and multiple clamping mechanisms 5, with each capping mechanism 4 and clamping mechanism 5 arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the multiple capping mechanisms 4 arranged side by side.

[0029] Preferably, the number of capping mechanisms 4 and the number of clamping mechanisms 5 are both four. That is, the vision module 3 can identify four bottles in sequence at one time. If one of them does not have a cap, the clamping mechanism 5 and capping mechanism 4 corresponding to that bottle will not perform any action. The other clamping mechanisms 5 will operate normally, which can ensure the accuracy of the action.

[0030] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 5 further includes a lifting driver 58, which is used to drive the frame 51 to rise and fall.

[0031] Specifically, the lifting actuator 58 is preferably a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder, or even a hand-cranked adjustment. That is, the lifting actuator 58 adjusts the height of the frame 51, mainly so that when the bottle body being capped changes, the height of the frame 51 can be adjusted according to the height of the bottle body. During the capping action, since there is a certain height difference between the bidirectional cylinder 52 and the clamping member 53, and the clamping member 53 mainly clamps the bottle body near the top cap, the bidirectional cylinder 52 will not interfere with the transmission of the bottle body, eliminating the need for a lifting action and thus optimizing the operation to improve efficiency.

[0032] It should be noted that the appendix of this utility model Figure 1 and 2In this work, the lifting driver 58 is represented by only one plate on it. In fact, the specific structure and connection relationship of the lifting driver should be common knowledge in the field. Therefore, it should not be considered as insufficient disclosure simply because it is not shown in the accompanying drawings of this utility model.

[0033] In this embodiment, the clamping member 53 is equipped with a sensor 59, which is used to sense whether the clamping member 53 is in contact with the bottle body. The sensor 59 can be a photoelectric switch, pressure sensor, etc., and is preferably disposed in the arc-shaped groove 54. When the sensor 59 is triggered by the bottle body, the sensor 59 generates a signal, and the capping mechanism 4 operates after receiving the signal, thereby ensuring that the bottle body is clamped during the capping process.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
