[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2A bottle cap feeding device 10 includes: a machine base 100, a tray feeding module 200, a first conveying module 300, a tray transferring module 400, a second conveying module 500, a tray discharging module 600, a bottle cap feeding module 700, and a bottle cap transferring module 800. The tray feeding module 200, the first conveying module 300, the tray transferring module 400, the second conveying module 500, and the tray discharging module 600 are sequentially arranged on the machine base 100 to form a U-shaped production line. The bottle cap feeding module 700 is located on the side of the first conveying module 300 away from the second conveying module 500. The bottle cap transferring module 800 is located above the first conveying module 300. The first conveying module 300 has a bottle cap assembly area 310. The bottle cap transferring module 800 is used to transfer the bottle caps on the bottle cap feeding module 700 to the bottle cap assembly area 310.

[0025] It should be noted that the tray loading module 200, the first conveying module 300, the tray transferring module 400, the second conveying module 500, and the tray unloading module 600 are sequentially arranged on the machine base 100 to form a U-shaped production line. This makes the structure of the bottle cap loading assembly more compact and avoids occupying too much space. Bottle caps are placed in the bottle cap loading module 700, ensuring that all bottle caps face the same direction and are arranged neatly. Then, the tray is placed in the tray loading module 200, and the tray is loaded into the first conveying module 300. The first conveying module 300 has a bottle cap assembly area 310. When the tray is in the bottle cap assembly area 310, because the bottle cap loading module 700 is located on the side of the first conveying module 300 away from the second conveying module 500, and the bottle cap transferring module 800 is located above the first conveying module 300, the bottle cap transferring module 600... Bottle caps neatly arranged on the bottle cap feeding module 700 are transferred to the bottle cap assembly area 310 and placed into the material tray. After the material tray is full of bottle caps, it passes through the material tray transfer module 400, the second conveying module 500, and the material tray discharge module 600 in sequence. Finally, the material tray full of bottle caps is unloaded manually. Since the material tray feeding module 200 and the material tray discharge module 600 are located at the beginning and end of the U-shaped structure, respectively, that is, on the same side of the machine 100, it is convenient for manual feeding and unloading of the material tray. The bottle cap feeding equipment 10 of this utility model realizes synchronous and automated feeding of the material tray and bottle caps, replacing manual feeding of bottle caps to the material tray, reducing the labor intensity of manual labor, improving production efficiency, and reducing bottle cap contamination by replacing manual feeding operations.

[0026] Please refer to it again. Figure 1In one embodiment, the material tray loading module 200 includes a feeding conveying component 210, a first material transfer conveying component 220, and a first lifting component 230. The first material transfer conveying component 220 is disposed between the first conveying module 300 and the feeding conveying component 210. The first material transfer conveying component 220 is slidably disposed on the first lifting component 230. The first material transfer conveying component 220 is used to transfer the material tray on the feeding conveying component 210 to the first conveying module 300.

[0027] It should be noted that the feeding conveying component 210 is equipped with two feeding guide rails 211. The material tray is placed on the two feeding guide rails 211, so that the material tray is transferred to the first material transfer conveying component 220. The first material transfer conveying component 220 is equipped with two material transfer guide rails 221, which are aligned with the two feeding guide rails 211 respectively. Through the transmission between the two material transfer guide rails 221 and the two feeding guide rails 211 respectively, the material tray can be transferred to the first material transfer conveying component 220. Since the first material transfer conveying component 220 is slidably set on the first lifting component 230, the first lifting component 230 drives the first material transfer conveying component 220 to rise, so that the material tray is transferred to the first conveying module 300. In this way, the material tray loading process is completed, replacing the manual method of loading the material tray and reducing the labor intensity of manual labor.

[0028] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 In one embodiment, the first conveying module 300 includes a first cover plate 320, two first guide rails 330 and a first positioning plate 340. The two first guide rails 330 are arranged in parallel and cooperate to carry the material tray. The first cover plate 320 is disposed between the two first guide rails 330 and the two first positioning plates 340 are respectively disposed above the two first guide rails 330.

[0029] It should be noted that when the first lifting component 230 moves the tray to the first conveying module 300, the two transfer guide rails 221 on the first transfer conveying component 220 are aligned with the two first guide rails 330. Through the transmission between the two transfer guide rails 221 and the two first guide rails 330, the tray is moved onto the two first guide rails 330. The first cover plate 320 is set between the two first guide rails 330 to prevent the tray from slipping into the gap between the two first guide rails 330, thus improving the stability of the tray transfer process. The two first positioning plates 340 are respectively set above the two first guide rails 330, so that both sides of the tray are placed on the two first guide rails 330 at the same time, avoiding the tray from slipping off if only one side of the tray is placed on one of the first guide rails 330, which would affect the feeding efficiency. The distance between the two first positioning plates 340 is slightly larger than the width of the tray, so that the two first positioning plates 340 have a positioning effect without squeezing the sides of the tray.

[0030] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 In one embodiment, a positioning component 350 is provided on the bottle cap assembly area 310. The positioning component 350 includes a positioning member 351, a first driving member 352, a limiting block 353, a limiting plate 354, and a second driving member 355. The positioning member 351 passes through the first cover plate 320. The first driving member 352 is connected to the bottom of the positioning member 351. The limiting block 353 is disposed on one of the first positioning plates 340, and the limiting plate 354 is disposed on the other first positioning plate 340. The limiting block 353 and the limiting plate 354 are aligned. The second driving member 355 is connected to the limiting plate 354 and is used to push the limiting plate 354 to move towards the limiting block 353.

[0031] It should be noted that the tray is moved to the bottle cap assembly area 310 via two first guide rails 330. The positioning component 351 is driven to rise by the first driving component 352, restricting the forward conveying of the tray and completing its positioning on the bottle cap assembly area 310. The limiting block 353 is set on one of the first positioning plates 340, and the limiting plate 354 is set on the other first positioning plate 340. The limiting block 353 and the limiting plate 354 are aligned. When the tray is in the bottle cap assembly area 310, the limiting block 353 is located on one side of the tray, and the limiting plate 354 is located on the other side of the tray. The second driving component 355 drives the limiting plate 354 to move towards the limiting block 353, so that the limiting plate 354 and the limiting block 353 cooperate to clamp and limit the tray, preventing the tray from shaking during the process of feeding the bottle caps onto the tray, which would affect the feeding accuracy of the bottle caps.

[0032] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 In one embodiment, the bottle cap feeding module 700 includes a feeding hopper 710, a feeding channel 720, a vibrating feeding plate 730, and a discharging channel 740. The feeding hopper 710 is connected to the feeding channel 720, the feeding channel 720 is disposed above the vibrating feeding plate 730, the vibrating feeding plate 730 is connected to the discharging channel 740, and the discharging channel 740 has a limiting groove 741 for transferring the bottle cap to the bottle cap transferring module 800.

[0033] It should be noted that the bottle caps are manually poured into the feeding hopper 710. The bottle caps are then transferred to the vibrating feeding plate 730 via the feeding channel 720. The bottle caps are initially in a disordered state in the feeding hopper 710. The vibrating feeding plate 730 vibrates the bottle caps so that they face the same direction and are neatly arranged on the discharge channel 740. The discharge channel 740 has a limiting groove 741. The bottle caps enter the limiting groove 741 to prevent them from moving left and right and causing inaccurate positioning. The bottle caps are then transferred to the bottle cap transfer module 800 via the limiting groove 741 for subsequent transfer.

[0034] Please refer to it again. Figure 2In one embodiment, the bottle cap transfer module 800 includes a support frame 831, a transfer robot 840, and a third drive unit 850. The support frame 831 is disposed at the first conveying module 300, and the transfer robot 840 is slidably disposed on the support frame 831. The third drive unit 850 is used to drive the transfer robot 840 to reciprocate from above the limiting groove 741 to above the bottle cap assembly area 310. When bottle caps are arranged on the limiting groove 741 and the material tray is at the bottle cap assembly area 310, the third drive unit 850 drives the transfer robot 840 to above the limiting groove 741 to pick up the bottle caps. Then, the third drive unit 850 drives the transfer robot 840 to move to above the bottle cap assembly area 310 and place the bottle caps in the material tray until the material tray is full of bottle caps. This replaces the process of manually placing bottle caps repeatedly, which not only reduces the labor intensity of manual labor but also avoids manual contact with bottle caps, improving the cleanliness of bottle cap loading.

[0035] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the 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 slidably connected to the support frame 835, and the fixed frame 836 is slidably connected to the support frame 831. Cylinder 834 is mounted on sliding seat 832. Fixed frame 833 is lifted and displaced by first drive cylinder 834. First transfer suction cup 835 is fixedly connected to fixed frame 833. First transfer suction cup 835 is used to pick up bottle caps on first feed trough 821a. Second transfer suction cup 836 is slidably connected to fixed frame 833. Second transfer suction cup 836 is used to pick up bottle caps on second feed trough 821b. Second drive cylinder 837 is located on the side of second transfer suction cup 836 away from first transfer suction cup 835. Second drive cylinder 837 is used to drive second transfer suction cup 836 to reciprocate towards first transfer suction cup 835.

[0036] 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 again... 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 utility model 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 for two feeding grooves doubles the transfer efficiency. Because the distance between the first feeding groove 821a and the second feeding groove 821b is relatively short compared to the material tray... The varying spacing between the accommodating cavities 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.

[0037] Please see again Figure 3In 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.

[0038] Please see again Figure 3 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.

[0039] Please see again Figure 3 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.

[0040] Please see again Figure 3 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.

[0041] Please see again Figure 3In 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.

[0042] Please see again Figure 3 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.

[0043] Please see again Figure 4 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.

[0044] Please see again Figure 3 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.

[0045] Please see again Figure 4In 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.

[0046] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 In one embodiment, the material tray transfer module 400 includes a transport platform 410, a transport guide rail 420, two second guide rails 430, and a second positioning plate 440. The transport platform 410 is slidably disposed on the transport guide rail 420, and the two second guide rails 430 are arranged parallel to each other on the transport platform 410. The two second guide rails 430 cooperate to carry the material tray, and the two second positioning plates 440 are respectively disposed above the two second guide rails 430. The transport platform 410 reciprocates from the first transfer module 300 to the second transfer module 500 through the transport guide rail 420.

[0047] It should be noted that when the tray is full of bottle caps, the transport platform 410 is driven to the first conveying module 300 via the transport guide rail 420. Two second guide rails 430 are arranged parallel to each other on the transport platform 410, so that the two second guide rails 430 are aligned with the two first guide rails 330. Through the transmission between the two second guide rails 430 and the two first guide rails 330, the tray on the two first guide rails 330 is transferred to the two second guide rails 430. Two second positioning plates 440 are respectively arranged above the two second guide rails 430. The function of the two second positioning plates 440 is the same as that of the two first positioning plates 340, so that both sides of the tray are placed on the two second guide rails 430 at the same time, avoiding the tray from slipping if only one side of the tray is placed on one of the second guide rails 430. When the tray is stably placed on the two second guide rails 430, the transport platform 410 is then driven to the second conveying module 500 via the transport guide rail 420.

[0048] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 In one embodiment, the second conveying module 500 is arranged parallel to the first conveying module 300. The second conveying module 500 includes a second cover plate 510, two third guide rails 520 and a third positioning plate 530. The second cover plate 510 is disposed between the two third guide rails 520. The two third guide rails 520 are arranged parallel to each other and are used to support the material tray. The two third positioning plates 530 are respectively disposed above the two third guide rails 520.

[0049] It should be noted that the second conveying module 500 is arranged parallel to the first conveying module 300, making the first conveying module 300 and the second conveying module 500 symmetrical, thereby making the bottle cap feeding device 10 more compact. When the carrier platform 410 is driven to the second transmission module by the carrier guide rail 420, the two second guide rails 430 and the two third guide rails 520 are aligned. Through the transmission between the two second guide rails 430 and the two third guide rails 520, the material trays on the two second guide rails 430 are transferred to the two third guide rails 520. The two third positioning plates 530 have the same function as the two first positioning plates 340 and the two second positioning plates 440, which are used to position the two sides of the material tray. The second cover plate 510 has the same function as the first cover plate 320, which prevents the material tray from slipping into the gap between the two third guide rails 520.

[0050] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 In one embodiment, the material tray discharge module 600 includes a discharge conveying component 610, a second material transfer conveying component 620, and a second lifting component 630. The second material transfer conveying component 620 is disposed between the second conveying module 500 and the discharge conveying component 610. The second material transfer conveying component 620 is slidably disposed on the second lifting component 630. The second material transfer conveying component 620 is used to transfer the material tray on the second conveying module 500 to the discharge conveying component 610.

[0051] It should be noted that the structure of the tray discharge module 600 is the same as that of the tray loading module 200. When the tray arrives at the tray discharge module 600 through the second conveying module 500, the second material transfer component 620 is driven to rise through the second lifting component 630. When the tray is stably positioned at the second material transfer component 620, the second material transfer component 620 is driven to fall through the second lifting component 630 to align with the discharge component 610, and the tray completes the unloading through the discharge component 610.
