Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of gasket assembly machines, specifically a novel integrated gasket assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] The gasket inside a cosmetic bottle cap is a thin sheet of material embedded inside the cap, in direct contact with the bottle opening. Its main functions include: preventing leakage of cosmetics during transportation or storage, maintaining the stability of the bottle's ingredients, reducing the intrusion of oxygen, moisture, or microorganisms, extending product shelf life, preventing direct contact between the bottle's metal or plastic opening and the cosmetics, and preventing chemical migration or contamination. Gasket assembly machines are used to precisely and efficiently install the gasket into the inside of the bottle cap.

[0003] Currently, the assembly of cosmetic bottle cap gaskets is still mainly done manually. However, this method has significant drawbacks: because it is difficult to precisely control the gasket position manually, displacement or tilting easily occurs during assembly, resulting in a low initial assembly pass rate. To correct these problems, workers need to repeatedly adjust the gasket position, and even perform rework. This not only significantly extends the assembly time of a single product, but also causes unstable production rhythm due to human factors, ultimately hindering the improvement of overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel integrated gasket assembly machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel integrated gasket assembly machine, comprising a cabinet and a bottle cap positioning plate. The cabinet has a first X-axis linear motor on each side of its top. An X-axis sliding plate slides on the first X-axis linear motor. The bottle cap positioning plate is located on top of the X-axis sliding plate. A central support is located at the top center of the cabinet. A Y-axis linear motor is located on one side of the central support. A second Z-axis linear motor slides on one side of the Y-axis linear motor. A Z-axis slider slides on one side of the second Z-axis linear motor. A negative pressure material handling tube is fixed to one side of the Z-axis slider.

[0006] Furthermore, a support frame is provided on one side of the top of the cabinet, and a vibrating material feeding plate is provided on the top of the support frame. A material drop pipe is fixed at one end of the material discharge port of the vibrating material feeding plate. Fixing plates are provided on both sides of the lower half of the support frame, and a pushing cylinder is provided on the top of the fixing plate. One end of the piston rod of the pushing cylinder is located below the material drop pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, there are two second Z-axis linear motors, and two vibrating feeding discs and two feeding tubes.

[0008] Furthermore, a door-shaped bracket is provided on one side of the top of the cabinet, and a first Z-axis linear motor is fixed at the center of the top of the door-shaped bracket. A clamping block is slidably provided on one side of the first Z-axis linear motor, and the clamping block is used to clamp and fix the bottle cap positioning plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a support frame is provided on the top of the cabinet away from the door-shaped bracket, and a second X-axis linear motor is provided on both sides of the top of the support frame. A material transfer cylinder is slidably provided between the second X-axis linear motors, and a clamping block is also provided at the bottom end of the piston rod of the material transfer cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottle cap positioning plate is provided with multiple positioning grooves that match the outer contour of the bottle cap.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention, through the design of an intermediate support, a negative pressure feeding tube, and a bottle cap positioning plate, enables the following process during bottle cap gasket assembly: A first Z-axis linear motor, in conjunction with clamping blocks, moves the high-positioned bottle cap positioning plate, along with the internal bottle caps, to the X-axis sliding plate. Then, a first X-axis linear motor moves the bottle cap positioning plate to the assembly station below the intermediate support. At this point, the gaskets, after being vibrated and fed by a vibrating feeding disc, enter the feeding tube in a layered arrangement. A pushing cylinder pushes the bottommost gasket to one side above the fixed plate. Finally, a Y-axis linear motor drives the negative pressure feeding tube to move onto the gasket on the fixed plate. The assembly process begins with the second Z-axis linear motor driving the negative pressure feeding tube downwards to adsorb the gasket under negative pressure. Subsequently, the Y-axis linear motor moves the negative pressure feeding tube, along with the gasket, to the top of the bottle cap on the bottle cap positioning plate. The gasket then descends and presses into the bottle cap. This process continues until all bottle caps on the bottle cap positioning plate are equipped with gaskets. Finally, the first X-axis linear motor moves the assembled bottle caps and bottle cap positioning plate to the bottom of the transfer cylinder. The transfer cylinder then uses clamps to remove the bottle cap positioning plate, thus automating the assembly of the gaskets. This saves manpower while improving the accuracy and efficiency of gasket assembly.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel integrated gasket assembly machine, including a cabinet 1 and a bottle cap positioning plate 16. The cabinet 1 serves as the main frame of the entire equipment, providing an installation foundation and support for other components. The bottle cap positioning plate 16 is used to place and position bottle caps and is a key load-bearing component in the bottle cap gasket assembly process.

[0021] The top of the cabinet 1 is equipped with first X-axis linear motors 7 on both sides. An X-axis slide plate 15 slides on the first X-axis linear motor 7, and a bottle cap positioning plate 16 is mounted on top of the X-axis slide plate 15. The first X-axis linear motor 7 provides power for the movement of the X-axis slide plate 15 in the X-axis direction and is a key driving component for the precise movement of the bottle cap positioning plate 16 in the X-axis direction. Its movement allows the bottle cap positioning plate 16 to reach different working positions. Driven by the first X-axis linear motor 7, the X-axis slide plate 15 can slide linearly along the X-axis direction. Serving as the mounting carrier for the bottle cap positioning plate 16, it moves the bottle cap positioning plate 16 through its own sliding motion, enabling the transfer of bottle caps between different workstations. The bottle cap positioning plate 16 is placed directly on top of the X-axis slide plate 15. The two are fixed and separated by the opening and closing of an electromagnet. The positioning groove on the bottle cap positioning plate 16 is used to precisely place the bottle cap, ensuring the accuracy of the bottle cap's position during assembly and facilitating the accurate installation of subsequent gaskets.

[0022] A central support bracket 10 is located at the top center of the cabinet 1. A Y-axis linear motor 11 is mounted on one side of the top of the central support bracket 10. The central support bracket 10 provides a mounting position for the Y-axis linear motor 11, serving as support and positioning, ensuring that the Y-axis linear motor 11 is stably positioned in a suitable location at the top center of the cabinet 1. This provides a basic support structure for the subsequent movement of the negative pressure material picking tube 14 in the Y-axis direction. A second Z-axis linear motor 12 is slidably mounted on one side of the Y-axis linear motor 11, and a Z-axis slider 13 is slidably mounted on one side of the second Z-axis linear motor 12. The negative pressure material picking tube 14 is fixed to one side of the Z-axis slider 13. The Y-axis linear motor 11 provides power for the movement of the second Z-axis linear motor 12 in the Y-axis direction. Through its movement, the second Z-axis linear motor 12 and the negative pressure material picking tube 14 can move in the Y-axis direction, allowing the negative pressure material picking tube 14 to reach different working areas, such as moving from the gasket placement position to above the bottle cap for gasket installation. Driven by the Y-axis linear motor 11, the second Z-axis linear motor 12 can slide along the Y-axis. Simultaneously, it provides power for the movement of the Z-axis slider 13 in the Z-axis direction, making it a key component for achieving precise movement of the negative pressure feeding tube 14 in both the Y and Z axes. Driven by the second Z-axis linear motor 12, the Z-axis slider 13 can slide linearly along the Z-axis. Serving as the mounting carrier for the negative pressure feeding tube 14, it moves the tube in the Z-axis direction through its own sliding motion, enabling the tube to rise and fall for the adsorption and installation of the gasket. The negative pressure feeding tube 14 is fixed to one side of the Z-axis slider 13, and its position is adjusted by the movement of the Z-axis slider 13. Utilizing the principle of negative pressure, the negative pressure feeding tube 14 adsorbs the gasket and is the core component for gasket gripping and installation, accurately gripping the gasket from a designated position and placing it into the bottle cap.

[0023] A support frame 2 is located on one side of the top of the cabinet 1. A vibrating feed tray 3 is mounted on top of the support frame 2. The support frame 2 provides mounting support for the vibrating feed tray 3, ensuring it is stably positioned on one side of the top of the cabinet 1 and guaranteeing its normal operation. This provides a basic support structure for the orderly supply of subsequent gaskets. A drop pipe 4 is fixed to one end of the discharge port of the vibrating feed tray 3. The vibrating feed tray 3 uses vibration to organize the disordered gaskets into an orderly state, making it a key component for automatic gasket feeding. It arranges the gaskets in a specific direction and order, facilitating accurate output of subsequent gaskets through the drop pipe 4. Fixing plates 8 are located on both sides of the lower half of the support frame 2. A pushing cylinder 9 is mounted on top of the fixing plates 8, with one end of the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 9 located below the drop pipe 4. The drop pipe 4 is connected to the discharge port of the vibrating feed tray 3 and is used to transport the gaskets organized by the vibrating feed tray 3 in a layered arrangement, ensuring the gaskets reach the designated position accurately, preparing for the subsequent pushing cylinder 9 to push the gaskets. The fixed plate 8 provides an installation position for the pusher cylinder 9, and its top surface serves as a placement plane after the pad is pushed, which supports and positions the pad, ensuring that the pusher cylinder 9 can accurately push the pad to the appropriate position, so that the negative pressure pick-up pipe 14 can adsorb it.

[0024] The pusher cylinder 9 is fixed on the top of the fixed plate 8, with one end of its piston rod located below the drop pipe 4. When the vibrating feeder 3 delivers the pads to the drop pipe 4, the piston rod of the pusher cylinder 9 extends, which can push the bottom pads out from below the drop pipe 4 and move them to a designated position on the side above the fixed plate 8, providing convenience for the negative pressure feeding pipe 14 to grab the pads.

[0025] There are two second Z-axis linear motors 12, as well as two vibrating feeding discs 3 and two feeding pipes 4. Setting up two second Z-axis linear motors 12 can increase the flexibility and efficiency of the equipment. For example, two negative pressure feeding pipes 14 can be controlled simultaneously to perform the gripping and installation of gaskets, improving the parallel processing capability of gasket assembly and shortening the overall assembly time.

[0026] Two vibrating feed discs 3 and a drop pipe 4 can simultaneously sort and transport the gaskets, increasing the gasket supply and meeting the needs of large-scale production, thus improving the production efficiency of the equipment. In conjunction with two second Z-axis linear motors 12, more efficient gasket assembly can be achieved.

[0027] A portal frame is provided on one side of the top of the cabinet 1. A first Z-axis linear motor 5 is fixed at the center of the top of the portal frame. A clamping block 6 is slidably mounted on one side of the first Z-axis linear motor 5. The clamping block 6 is used to clamp and fix the bottle cap positioning plate 16. The portal frame provides mounting support for the first Z-axis linear motor 5, enabling it to be stably positioned in a suitable position on one side of the top of the cabinet 1. This provides a basic support structure for the subsequent movement of the clamping block 6 in the Z-axis direction, ensuring that the clamping block 6 can accurately complete the clamping and moving operation of the bottle cap positioning plate 16. The clamping block 6 and the bottle cap positioning plate 16 can be clamped by magnetic attraction using an electromagnet. The first Z-axis linear motor 5 provides power for the movement of the clamping block 6 in the Z-axis direction. Its movement can drive the clamping block 6 to rise or fall, realizing the clamping and placing operation of the bottle cap positioning plate 16 at different heights. It is a key driving component for completing the transfer of the bottle cap positioning plate 16 to different positions.

[0028] A support frame 17 is located on the top of the cabinet 1, away from the portal frame. Second X-axis linear motors 18 are mounted on both sides of the top of the support frame 17. A transfer cylinder 19 slides between the second X-axis linear motors 18, and a clamping block 6 is also provided at the bottom of the piston rod of the transfer cylinder 19. The support frame 17 provides mounting support for the second X-axis linear motors 18, ensuring that the second X-axis linear motors 18 are stably positioned at a suitable location on the top of the cabinet 1, away from the portal frame. This provides a basic support structure for the subsequent movement of the transfer cylinder 19 in the X-axis direction, ensuring that the transfer cylinder 19 can accurately complete the movement operation of the bottle cap positioning plate 16. Driven by the second X-axis linear motors 18, the transfer cylinder 19 can slide along the X-axis. The clamping block 6 is provided at the bottom of the piston rod of the transfer cylinder 19. Through the extension and retraction of the piston rod and its own sliding, the bottle cap positioning plate 16 can be clamped and moved, removing the assembled bottle cap and bottle cap positioning plate 16 from the equipment, completing the entire assembly process.

[0029] The bottle cap positioning plate 16 has multiple positioning grooves that match the outer contour of the bottle cap. The design of the positioning grooves ensures that the bottle cap is accurately and fixedly positioned on the bottle cap positioning plate 16, preventing the bottle cap from moving or misaligning during assembly, ensuring that the gasket can be accurately installed into the bottle cap, improving the accuracy and quality of gasket assembly. At the same time, multiple positioning grooves can hold multiple bottle caps at the same time, enabling batch assembly and improving production efficiency.

[0030] During the assembly of the bottle cap gaskets, the first Z-axis linear motor 5, in conjunction with the clamping block 6, moves the high-positioned bottle cap positioning plate 16, along with the internal bottle caps, onto the X-axis sliding plate 15. Then, the first X-axis linear motor 7 moves the bottle cap positioning plate 16 to the assembly station below the intermediate support 10. At this point, the gaskets, after being vibrated and regulated by the vibrating feeding disc 3, enter the drop pipe 4 and are arranged in layers. The bottommost gasket is pushed by the pushing cylinder 9 to move to the side above the fixed plate 8. Then, the Y-axis linear motor 11 drives the negative pressure feeding pipe 14 to move above the gaskets on the fixed plate 8. Finally, the second Z-axis linear motor 12... The negative pressure feeding tube 14 is driven down and the gasket is negatively adsorbed. Then, the Y-axis linear motor 11 drives the negative pressure feeding tube 14 and the gasket together to move above the bottle cap on the bottle cap positioning plate 16. Then the gasket is lowered and pressed into the bottle cap. After all the bottle caps on the bottle cap positioning plate 16 are assembled with gaskets, the first X-axis linear motor 7 moves the assembled bottle caps and bottle cap positioning plate 16 to below the transfer cylinder 19. The bottle cap positioning plate 16 is removed by the clamping block 6 on the transfer cylinder 19, realizing the automated assembly of the gaskets, saving manpower and improving the accuracy and efficiency of gasket assembly.
