Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of plugging devices, specifically relating to an intelligent aluminum foil plugging device. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, bottle caps or cup caps require the insertion of gaskets during processing to improve their sealing performance during use. During normal processing, the bottle caps are typically stored in a box. When gasket insertion is needed, a feeding mechanism outputs the bottle caps one by one. During output, the bottle caps often face in different directions, requiring manual adjustment, which is detrimental to subsequent gasket insertion. Alternatively, some systems use vibrating feeding and screening machines to achieve directional output of the bottle caps. However, vibrating feeding and screening machines have long conveyor tracks, resulting in low feeding efficiency.
[0003] Meanwhile, in traditional industries, aluminum foil is typically used as a sealing gasket inserted into bottle caps to ensure their airtightness. Aluminum foil gaskets are usually installed manually or by machine. However, for small and medium-sized factories, manually pinching and inserting the gasket poses a significant risk of breakage due to the fragility of the material. Automated gasketing machines are bulky, cumbersome, and inefficient.
[0004] In existing technologies, machine-assisted insertion typically uses pneumatic suction to lift the gasket. Because the gasket is relatively light, it is quickly lifted by the airflow. The simple suction head rapidly and with low precision lifts the gasket, making it difficult to align properly when inserting it into the box lid. This not only damages the gasket but also affects the accuracy and efficiency of the insertion process. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an intelligent aluminum foil inserter to solve technical problems such as long vibration paths, low feeding efficiency, and low precision of machine-inserted aluminum foil sheets.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A smart aluminum foil stopper device includes a processing table, and a climbing feeding mechanism, a bottle cap sorting mechanism, and a stopper mechanism mounted on the processing table. The climbing feeding mechanism includes a storage bin and a bottle cap feeding assembly. The bottle cap feeding assembly is used to output the bottle caps to be processed stored in the storage bin one by one to the bottle cap sorting mechanism.
[0007] The bottle cap sorting mechanism includes a transition chamber, a transfer assembly, and a directional sorting assembly. The transfer assembly is rotatably connected inside the transition chamber and can output the bottle caps being processed from the transition chamber one by one.
[0008] The directional screening assembly includes a screening track frame, a material discharge track frame, and a return channel. The screening track frame is equipped with a screening conveyor track. The width of the screening conveyor track is greater than the diameter of the top of the bottle cap being processed, but smaller than the diameter of the bottle cap body. A return port is located at the bottom of the screening track frame. The input end of the return channel is connected to the return port; the output end is connected to a storage hopper.
[0009] The plugging mechanism includes a bottle cap conveying assembly, a limiting clamping assembly, and an aluminum foil plugging assembly. The bottle cap conveying assembly receives the bottle caps to be processed from the directional screening assembly and conveys them to the limiting clamping assembly. The limiting clamping assembly clamps the conveyed bottle caps. The aluminum foil plugging assembly inserts aluminum foil into the bottle caps being processed.
[0010] Furthermore, the screening track frame is equipped with two spaced-apart screening track plates. A screening conveying track is formed between the two screening track plates. The discharge track frame is equipped with two spaced-apart discharge track plates. The gap between the two discharge track plates forms a directional conveying track.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottle cap feeding assembly includes a lifting bracket, a feeding conveyor belt, and multiple partitions spaced apart on the feeding conveyor belt. The lifting bracket is inclined. The feeding conveyor belt is mounted on the lifting bracket, and its bottom extends into the storage bin.
[0012] Furthermore, the transfer assembly includes a conical rotating material plate and a rotary motor. The rotating material plate is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the transition chamber. The rotary motor is fixed to the bottom of the transition chamber, and its output shaft passes through the bottom surface of the transition chamber and is fixed to the rotating material plate, enabling it to drive the rotating material plate to rotate.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottle cap conveying assembly includes a conveying bracket and a conveyor belt. The conveying bracket is fixed to the main frame. Limiting plates are fixed to both sides of the top of the conveying bracket. The adjacent sides of the two limiting plates are spaced apart to form a conveying channel that mates with the bottle caps being processed. The input end of the conveying channel is connected to the output end of the positioning conveying track; the conveyor belt is disposed within the conveying channel.
[0014] Furthermore, the limiting clamping assembly includes a support bracket, a drive cylinder, an infrared detector, a first jaw, and a second jaw. The drive cylinder is fixed to the processing base via the support bracket. The first jaw and the second jaw are symmetrically arranged and fixed to the telescopic end of the drive cylinder and the conveying bracket, respectively. Both the first jaw and the second jaw have multiple slots that mate with the bottle caps being processed. The infrared detector is fixed to the top of the support bracket.
[0015] Furthermore, the aluminum foil stopper assembly includes an adsorption stopper mechanism and an aluminum foil storage mechanism disposed directly above the adsorption stopper mechanism. The adsorption stopper mechanism includes a lifting drive assembly, a mounting bracket, and a flipping adsorption assembly. The mounting bracket is fixed to the drive end of the lifting drive assembly and can rise or fall under the drive of the lifting drive assembly. The flipping adsorption assembly is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket and can transfer the aluminum foil in the aluminum foil storage mechanism to the bottle cap being processed.
[0016] Furthermore, the flipping adsorption assembly includes a flipping motor, a transfer bracket, and multiple adsorption components. The transfer bracket is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket and can rotate under the drive of the flipping motor. The transfer bracket is connected to the power output shaft of the flipping motor. Each adsorption component is arranged sequentially at intervals on the transfer bracket and can rotate synchronously with the transfer bracket. Each adsorption component has an air intake channel. The top of the air intake channel is connected to an external air intake pump via a pneumatic quick-connect plug. The bottom of the air intake channel has a suction cup.
[0017] Furthermore, the aluminum foil storage mechanism includes a fixed support and a storage rack. The storage rack is fixed to the processing base by the fixed support. Multiple discharge channels are formed on the storage rack. Each discharge channel is aligned with a specific adsorption element. The discharge port is located at the bottom of each discharge channel. Multiple limiting grooves are formed on the inner wall of the bottom of each discharge channel. These limiting grooves are evenly distributed circumferentially along the axis of the discharge channel. Multiple limiting rods are respectively disposed within each limiting groove and are threaded into them.
[0018] Furthermore, a preliminary positioning component is provided on the side of the mounting bracket near the input end of the conveyor belt. The preliminary positioning component includes a positioning bracket and multiple positioning rods. The positioning bracket is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket. Each positioning rod is sequentially and equally spaced on the positioning bracket.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. This utility model sets a screening conveyor track at the output port of the transition chamber that utilizes centrifugal force. The width of the track is greater than the diameter of the top of the bottle cap being processed, but smaller than the diameter of the body of the bottle cap. This allows the bottle caps to be screened directly by the screening conveyor track when they are output from the transition chamber, and then output according to the specified orientation. This shortens the screening path while achieving directional output of the bottle caps, thereby improving screening efficiency.
[0020] 2. This utility model utilizes a preliminary positioning component and an adsorption stopper mechanism sequentially arranged on a mounting bracket. Simultaneously, a limiting clamping component is provided on one side of the adsorption stopper mechanism. This ensures that when the bottle caps being processed are fed into the conveyor belt, the distance between each bottle cap is first adjusted by the preliminary positioning component, and then the limiting clamping component further restricts the position of each bottle cap, preventing any misalignment between the bottle caps and the adsorption element in the adsorption stopper mechanism, thus ensuring accurate stopper insertion.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "one end", "the other end", "outer side", "upper side", "inner side", "horizontal", "coaxial", "center", "end", "length", "outer end", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, an intelligent aluminum foil stopper device includes a processing table 1, and a climbing feeding mechanism 2, a bottle cap sorting mechanism 3, and a stopper mechanism 4 installed on the processing table 1. The climbing feeding mechanism 2 includes a storage bin 5 and a bottle cap feeding assembly 6. The bottle cap feeding assembly 6 is used to output the processed bottle caps stored in the storage bin 5 one by one to the bottle cap sorting mechanism 3.
[0026] The bottle cap sorting mechanism 3 includes a transition chamber 7, a transfer assembly, and a directional sorting assembly 8. The inlet of the transition chamber 7 is connected to the output end of the bottle cap feeding assembly 6, and it receives the bottle caps to be processed from the feeding assembly 6. The transfer assembly is rotatably connected inside the transition chamber 7 and can output the bottle caps to be processed one by one through centrifugal force. The directional sorting assembly 8 is installed at the outlet of the transition chamber 7 and is used to directionally output the bottle caps to be processed.
[0027] The stopper mechanism 4 includes a bottle cap conveying assembly 9, a limiting clamping assembly 10, and an aluminum foil stopper assembly 11. The bottle cap conveying assembly 9 receives the bottle caps to be processed from the directional screening assembly 8 and conveys them to the limiting clamping assembly 10. The limiting clamping assembly 10 clamps the conveyed bottle caps, facilitating the aluminum foil stopper assembly 11 to accurately insert the aluminum foil into the bottle caps.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottle cap feeding assembly 6 includes a lifting bracket 2-1, a feeding conveyor belt 2-2, and multiple partitions 2-3 spaced apart on the feeding conveyor belt 2-2. The lifting bracket 2-1 is inclined. The feeding conveyor belt 2-2 is mounted on the lifting bracket 2-1, with its bottom extending into the storage bin. Driven by the partitions 2-3 on the feeding conveyor belt 2-2, it rises upwards to the inlet of the transition bin 7.
[0029] like Figure 1 , 3As shown in Figure 4, the transfer assembly includes a conical rotating material plate and a rotary motor. The rotating material plate is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the transition chamber 7. The rotary motor is fixed to the bottom of the transition chamber 7, and its output shaft passes through the bottom surface of the transition chamber 7 and is fixed to the rotating material plate, enabling it to drive the rotating material plate and the bottle caps being processed on the surface of the rotating material plate to rotate around the center.
[0030] Furthermore, multiple pushing protrusions are fixed on the rotating material plate. The pushing protrusions are evenly distributed around the axis of the rotating material plate to assist the circumferential movement of each bottle cap being processed on the rotating material plate, ensuring that the bottle caps being processed can be smoothly output from the discharge port side of the transition chamber 7.
[0031] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the directional screening assembly 8 includes a screening track frame 8-1, a discharge track frame 8-2, and a return channel 8-3. The screening track frame 8-1 has two spaced-apart screening track plates 8-4, forming a screening conveying track between them. The discharge track frame 8-2 has two spaced-apart discharge track plates 8-2, forming a directional conveying track between them. The width of the screening conveying track is greater than the diameter of the top of the bottle cap being processed, but smaller than the diameter of the bottle cap body. A return port 8-5 is located at the bottom of the screening track frame 8-1. The input end of the return channel 8-3 is connected to the return port 8-5; the output end is connected to the storage hopper 5, allowing the processed bottle caps falling from the return port 8-5 to flow back into the storage hopper 5.
[0032] During the directional conveying of the bottle caps being processed, when the bottle caps are in an inverted state with the cap body facing upwards and the cap top facing downwards, the diameter of the cap body is larger than the width of the screening conveyor track, allowing the bottle caps to be smoothly conveyed on the track. When the bottle caps are in an upright state with the cap top facing upwards and the cap body facing downwards, the diameter of the cap top is smaller than the width of the screening conveyor track, causing the bottle caps to fall from the return port 8-5 on the screening track frame 8-1 to the return channel 8-3 and flow back to the storage bin 5, thus achieving directional output of the bottle caps.
[0033] Furthermore, the directional conveying track is divided into an entry section, a sliding section, and an output section. The entry and output sections are connected to the output end of the screening track frame 8-1 and the input end of the bottle cap output assembly, respectively. The sliding section has a vertical track structure. In actual use, when the bottle caps to be processed, in an inverted state, enter the entry section of the directional conveying track one by one from the output end of the screening track frame 8-1, the bottle caps at the front will be pushed towards the sliding section by the following bottle caps. After entering the sliding section, the bottle caps will slide naturally under gravity and pass through the output section, being output towards the bottle cap output assembly.
[0034] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, the bottle cap conveying assembly 9 includes a conveying bracket 9-1 and a conveyor belt 9-2. The conveying bracket 9-1 is fixed to the main frame. Limiting plates are fixed to both sides of the top of the conveying bracket 9-1. The two limiting plates are spaced apart on adjacent sides to form a conveying channel that mates with the bottle caps being processed. The input end of the conveying channel is connected to the output end of the positioning conveying track, used to receive the bottle caps being processed and directionally output from the positioning conveying track. The conveyor belt 9-2 is disposed within the conveying channel, used to drive the output bottle caps being processed towards the limiting clamping assembly 10, facilitating the subsequent accurate insertion of aluminum foil into the bottle caps by the aluminum foil insert assembly 11.
[0035] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the limiting clamping assembly 10 includes a support bracket 10-1, a drive cylinder 10-2, an infrared detector, a first clamping jaw 10-3, and a second clamping jaw. The drive cylinder 10-2 is fixed to the processing base via the support bracket 10-1. The first clamping jaw 10-3 and the second clamping jaw are symmetrically arranged and fixed to the telescopic end of the drive cylinder 10-2 and the conveying bracket 9-1, respectively. Both the first clamping jaw 10-3 and the second clamping jaw have multiple slots that mate with the bottle caps being processed, for clamping the bottle caps. The infrared detector is fixed to the top of the support bracket 10-1 and is used to detect whether the bottle caps have moved to the positions of the first clamping jaws 10-3 and the second clamping jaws.
[0036] During the processing, when the bottle cap being processed moves to the position of the limiting clamping assembly 10 under the drive of the conveyor belt, the telescopic end of the drive cylinder 10-2 drives the first claw 10-3 to move outward, and cooperates with the second claw to form a clamping and fixing of the bottle cap being processed, so that the aluminum foil plug assembly 11 can put aluminum foil into the bottle cap being processed.
[0037] like Figure 6As shown, the aluminum foil stopper assembly 11 includes an adsorption stopper mechanism 124 and an aluminum foil storage mechanism 13 disposed directly above the adsorption stopper mechanism 124. The adsorption stopper mechanism 124 includes a lifting drive assembly, a mounting bracket 12-1, and a flipping adsorption assembly. The mounting bracket 12-1 is fixed to the drive end of the lifting drive assembly and can rise or fall under the drive of the lifting drive assembly. The flipping adsorption assembly is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 12-1 and can transfer the aluminum foil in the aluminum foil storage mechanism 13 to the bottle cap being processed.
[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, the flip-adsorption assembly includes a flip motor 12-2, a transfer bracket 12-3, and multiple adsorption elements 12-4. The transfer bracket 12-3 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 12-1 and can rotate under the drive of the flip motor 12-2. The transfer bracket 12-3 is connected to the power output shaft of the flip motor 12-2 via a coupling. The adsorption elements 12-4 are arranged sequentially at intervals on the transfer bracket 12-3 and can rotate synchronously with the transfer bracket 12-3. Each adsorption element 12-4 has an air intake channel. The top of the air intake channel is connected to an external air intake pump via a pneumatic quick-connect plug. The bottom of the air intake channel has a suction cup.
[0039] During actual processing, the suction component 12-4 on the transfer bracket 12-3 has two states driven by the flipping motor 12-2: a picking-up state and a loading state. When the suction component 12-4 is in the picking-up state, the suction cup on the suction component 12-4 is directly opposite the discharge port of the aluminum foil storage mechanism 13. The suction component 12-4 rises under the drive of the lifting drive assembly and completes the adsorption of aluminum foil under the drive of the external suction pump. Subsequently, the suction component 12-4 flips 180° under the drive of the flipping motor 12-2, switching from the picking-up state to the loading state. The suction component 12-4 descends under the drive of the lifting drive assembly, completing the placement of the adsorbed aluminum foil into the bottle cap to be processed.
[0040] Furthermore, a preliminary positioning component 14 is provided on the side of the mounting bracket 12-1 near the input end of the conveyor belt 9-2, which is used to perform preliminary positioning of each input bottle cap and limit the spacing between each bottle cap, so as to facilitate the positioning and clamping of the subsequent limiting clamping component 10.
[0041] like Figure 7 and 8As shown, the initial positioning assembly 14 includes a positioning bracket 14-1 and multiple positioning rods 14-2. The positioning bracket 14-1 is located at the end of the mounting bracket 12-1 near the conveyor belt inlet and is fixedly connected by screws. The positioning bracket 14-1 has mounting slots that mate with each positioning rod 14-2. The bottom of each positioning rod 14-2 passes through the mounting slot and is arranged at equal intervals. Each positioning rod 14-2 has two limiting nuts. The two limiting nuts are located on both sides of the mounting slot and are threaded into the positioning rod 14-2, enabling the positioning rod 14-2 to be locked in position when tightened.
[0042] During actual processing, the operator adjusts the distance between adjacent positioning rods 14-2 according to the spacing of the slots on the first and second jaws. After adjustment, each positioning rod 14-2 is locked in position by two limit nuts. When multiple bottle caps are input sequentially, each positioning rod 14-2 descends under the drive of the lifting drive assembly and initially abuts against the conical wall of each bottle cap. Each positioning rod 14-2 continues to descend gradually, adjusting the distance between adjacent bottle caps during the descent. After the adjustment of the adjacent distance between the bottle caps is completed, each positioning rod 14-2 rises under the drive of the lifting drive assembly, allowing each bottle cap to be transported to the position of the limit clamping assembly 10 according to the set spacing by the conveyor belt. The limit clamping assembly 10 clamps each bottle cap.
[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, the aluminum foil storage mechanism 13 includes a fixed bracket and a storage rack 13-1. The storage rack 13-1 is fixed to the processing base by the fixed bracket and is located directly above the flipping adsorption assembly. Multiple discharge channels 13-2 are provided on the storage rack 13-1. Each discharge channel 13-2 is aligned with each adsorption element 12-4. The discharge port is located at the bottom of the discharge channel 13-2.
[0044] Multiple limiting grooves are formed on the inner bottom wall of each discharge channel 13-2. These limiting grooves are evenly distributed circumferentially along the axis of the discharge channel 13-2. Multiple limiting rods are respectively installed in each limiting groove and are threaded into them. When the limiting rods are tightened inward, their inner ends extend into the discharge channel 13-2, supporting the aluminum foil stored within and preventing it from falling naturally under gravity. When the suction cup adsorbs the aluminum foil, the foil deforms, allowing it to be smoothly discharged from the bottom of the discharge channel 13-2. After discharge, it returns to its original shape, thus allowing it to be smoothly added to the bottle cap being processed.
[0045] In this embodiment, each discharge channel 13-2 is provided with multiple storage rods 13-3 at its opening. The storage rods 13-3 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the axis of the discharge channel 13-2, forming a storage space that cooperates with the aluminum foil, allowing the operator to place more aluminum foil on the storage rack 13-1.
[0046] This embodiment provides a non-essential technical feature: the lifting drive assembly includes a lifting motor and a transmission assembly. The lifting motor is fixed on the processing base and drives the transmission assembly to raise or lower the mounting bracket 12-1. In this embodiment, the transmission assembly adopts a crank-slider structure, so that when the drive end of the lifting motor rotates, it can smoothly drive the mounting bracket 12-1 to rise or fall through the crank-slider structure.
[0047] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During actual processing, the feeding conveyor belt 2-2 operates, and the bottle caps to be processed in the storage bin 5 are lifted upwards by the partitions 2-3 on the feeding conveyor belt 2-2 until they fall into the transition bin 7. The rotating plate in the transition bin 7 rotates under the drive of the rotary motor. Under the action of centrifugal force, the bottle caps to be processed in the transition bin 7 are output towards the discharge port side of the transition bin 7 and enter the input end of the screening and conveying track.
[0048] When the bottle cap being processed is in an inverted state with the cap body facing up and the cap top facing down, the diameter of the cap body is larger than the width of the screening conveyor track, allowing the bottle cap to be smoothly conveyed on the track. When the bottle cap being processed is in an upright state with the cap top facing up and the cap body facing down, the diameter of the cap top is smaller than the width of the screening conveyor track, causing the bottle cap to fall from the return port 8-5 on the discharge track to the return channel 8-3 and flow back to the storage bin 5, thus achieving directional output of the bottle cap.
[0049] The bottle caps being processed, in an inverted state, enter the inlet section of the directional conveying track one by one from the output end of the discharge track. The bottle caps at the front are pushed towards the sliding section by the following bottle caps. After entering the sliding section, the bottle caps will slide down naturally under the action of gravity, pass through the output section, and be output towards the bottle cap output assembly.
[0050] The bottle caps to be processed are conveyed in groups of four on the conveyor belt 9-2. When each bottle cap reaches the position of the initial positioning component 14, the conveyor belt 9-2 stops conveying, and each positioning rod 14-2 descends under the drive of the lifting drive component, initially abutting against the conical wall of each bottle cap. Each positioning rod 14-2 continues to descend gradually, adjusting the spacing between adjacent bottle caps during the descent. After the adjustment of the adjacent spacing of the bottle caps is completed, each positioning rod 14-2 rises under the drive of the lifting drive component, allowing each bottle cap to be transported to the position of the limiting clamping component 10 according to the set spacing under the drive of the conveyor belt 9-2.
[0051] When the bottle cap being processed moves to the position of the limiting clamping assembly 10 under the drive of the conveyor belt 9-2, the telescopic end of the drive cylinder 10-2 drives the first claw 10-3 to move outward, and cooperates with the second claw to form a clamping and fixing of the bottle cap being processed, so that the adsorption stopper mechanism 124 can put aluminum foil into the bottle cap being processed.
[0052] Subsequently, the mounting bracket 12-1 rises under the drive of the lifting drive assembly. Simultaneously, each adsorption component 12-4, driven by the flipping motor 12-2, faces the discharge port of the aluminum foil storage mechanism 13. The adsorption components 12-4 rise under the drive of the lifting drive assembly and, driven by an external suction pump, complete the adsorption of aluminum foil. Then, the adsorption components 12-4 flip 180° under the drive of the flipping motor 12-2, switching from the material-picking state to the material-feeding state. The adsorption components 12-4 descend under the drive of the lifting drive assembly, completing the placement of the adsorbed aluminum foil into the bottle cap to be processed.
[0053] After the aluminum foil is inserted, the first jaw 10-3 and the second jaw release their grip on the bottle cap being processed, allowing it to be smoothly output via the conveyor belt 9-2.
[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
