Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic packaging equipment, and more specifically, to a capping machine for testing capping torque. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of technology, more and more automated devices are gradually replacing manual operations. In the production of bottled liquids, capping is a crucial step. However, in actual production, the sealing force between the cap and the bottle opening varies between different batches of products, resulting in caps that are too tight or too loose. If the cap is too tight, users will need to apply a large amount of torque to open it, which is very difficult; if it is too loose, it will easily lead to poor sealing, allowing air to enter the bottle, which is not conducive to the storage of the contents and may cause leakage during transportation. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct random inspections on the production line to test the maximum torque required to open the cap, so as to adjust the relevant parameters of the capping process on the production line in a timely manner.

[0003] Existing capping torque testing devices lack sufficient automation, requiring manual adjustment of the capping height, which is inconvenient and poses safety hazards. Different products and container sizes require different clamps and settings, but existing devices do not support quick clamp changes or parameter adjustments, impacting work efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a capping machine for testing capping torque to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
