Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of hot stamping technology for bottle caps, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for a hot stamping machine for bottle caps. Background Technology

[0002] Hot stamping is a special printing process that does not use ink. Hot stamping refers to the process of hot stamping electroplated aluminum foil onto the surface of a substrate under certain temperature and pressure. A hot stamping machine is the equipment used to complete the hot stamping process.

[0003] The feeding device of a hot stamping machine generally includes a lifting mechanism, a vibratory feeder, and a track conveying mechanism. The lifting mechanism feeds the scattered bottle caps into the vibratory feeder. The vibratory feeder automatically orients and sorts the bottle caps through vibration and the guiding action of its internal components. Then, the track conveying mechanism stably transports the sorted bottle caps to the hot stamping head for hot stamping processing.

[0004] Existing bottle cap hot stamping machines typically use vibratory feeders that automatically and accurately sort and output bottle caps of a single model. This is insufficient for automatically sorting and outputting bottle caps of various diameters from a single machine. Often, different hot stamping machines are needed to process bottle caps of different diameters. The limited flexibility of the feeding devices in existing bottle cap hot stamping machines significantly increases production costs and maintenance complexity. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for a bottle cap hot stamping machine. The technical problem it solves is the poor adaptability of the vibratory feeder in existing bottle cap hot stamping machine feeding devices to multiple bottle cap sizes. The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A feeding mechanism for a bottle cap hot stamping machine includes:

[0007] The upper surface of the machine plate is fixed with a material holding cylinder, which is hollow.

[0008] The sorting component includes a first discharge plate and a second discharge plate. The second discharge plate is fixedly connected to the first discharge plate, and the first discharge plate is rotatably connected to the material container. Both the first discharge plate and the second discharge plate are evenly provided with a plurality of discharge slots along the circumference.

[0009] A drive assembly, which is fixedly connected to the machine board, is used to drive the rotation of the sorting assembly;

[0010] A sorting output component, which is fixedly connected to the circuit board;

[0011] The output track is connected to the sorting output component.

[0012] Furthermore, the first and second feed plates are provided with arc-shaped holes, which are arranged symmetrically on an axis. Several locking bolts are provided in the arc-shaped holes, and the second feed plate and the first feed plate are fixedly connected by the locking bolts.

[0013] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a motor and a drive shaft. The drive shaft is fixedly connected to the first feed plate and rotatably connected to the second feed plate. The drive shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and the motor is fixedly disposed below the machine plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the material holding cylinder includes an arc-shaped cylinder and a connecting plate. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped cylinder, and the lower end face of the connecting plate is in contact with the second discharge plate. The arc-shaped cylinder is fixedly connected to the machine plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the sorting output component includes a first baffle, a second baffle, and a third baffle. The third baffle is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and a discharge channel is formed between the second baffle and the first baffle. Both the first baffle and the second baffle are fixedly connected to the machine plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the edges of the discharge trough are all rounded.

[0017] Furthermore, the first baffle has a hole, and a telescopic cylinder is provided on one side of the first baffle. The telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the machine plate, and a fourth baffle is fixedly provided at the output end of the telescopic cylinder.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting up a sorting component, the second discharge plate of the sorting component can rotate relative to the first discharge plate through the arc-shaped hole and locking bolt, so as to adjust the degree of overlap between the discharge groove of the second discharge plate and the discharge groove of the first discharge plate according to the diameter of the bottle cap; it is applicable to sorting at least two or more bottle caps with different diameters, increasing the flexibility and practicality of the feeding mechanism of the bottle cap hot stamping machine, effectively reducing the number of equipment purchased, reducing production and processing costs and maintenance and management difficulties.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the following embodiments, so that the public can better understand the implementation method of this utility model. The specific implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] A feeding mechanism for a bottle cap hot stamping machine includes a machine plate 1. A material container 2 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the machine plate 1. The material container 2 is hollow and contains a sorting component 3. The sorting component 3 includes a first discharge plate 31 and a second discharge plate 32. The second discharge plate 32 is fixedly connected to the first discharge plate 31, and the first discharge plate 31 is rotatably connected to the material container 2. Both the first discharge plate 31 and the second discharge plate 32 have a plurality of discharge slots 4 evenly distributed circumferentially. The machine plate 1 is connected to a driving component 5 for driving the sorting component 3 to rotate. A sorting output component 6 is also provided on the upper surface of the machine plate 1. The sorting output component 6 is fixedly connected to the machine plate 1. The sorting output component 6 is located on one side of the material cylinder 2. The outlet of the sorting output component 6 is connected to the output track 7. By setting the sorting component 3, the second discharge plate 32 of the sorting component 3 can rotate relative to the first discharge plate 31, so as to adjust the degree of overlap between the discharge groove 4 of the second discharge plate 32 and the discharge groove 4 of the first discharge plate 31 according to the diameter of the bottle cap 14. It is applicable to sorting at least two or more bottle caps with different diameters, increasing the flexibility and practicality of the feeding mechanism of the bottle cap hot stamping machine, effectively reducing the number of equipment purchased, reducing production and processing costs and maintenance and management difficulties.

[0029] It should be noted that the first discharge plate 31 and the second discharge plate 32 are provided with arc-shaped holes 8, which are arranged symmetrically on an axis. Several locking bolts 9 are provided in the arc-shaped holes 8. The second discharge plate 32 and the first discharge plate 31 are fixedly connected by the locking bolts 9. When the bottle cap to be hot-stamped is changed from a smaller diameter bottle cap to a larger diameter bottle cap, the locking bolts 9 can be loosened and the second discharge plate 32 can be rotated until the effective discharge groove 15 formed by the discharge groove 4 of the second discharge plate 32 and the discharge groove 4 of the first discharge plate 31 can accommodate the bottle cap. Then the locking bolts 9 are tightened to fix the second discharge plate 32 on the first discharge plate 31. When the discharge groove 4 of the second discharge plate 32 and the discharge groove 4 of the first discharge plate 31 are completely overlapped, the diameter of the effective discharge groove 15 reaches its maximum.

[0030] Furthermore, the edges of the discharge trough 4 are all provided with rounded corners 10. This structure is mainly used to avoid wear on the surface of the bottle cap.

[0031] It should be noted that the driving assembly 5 includes a motor 51 and a drive shaft 52. The drive shaft 52 is fixedly connected to the first discharge plate 31 and rotatably connected to the second discharge plate 32. The drive shaft 52 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 51. The motor 51 is fixedly installed below the machine plate 1. When the motor 51 is started, the motor 51 outputs power to the drive shaft 52. The rotation of the drive shaft 52 will drive the rotation of the first discharge plate 31. The rotation of the first discharge plate 31 will drive the second discharge plate 32 to rotate together. The bottle caps in the holding cylinder 2 will fall into the discharge trough 4 and enter the discharge channel 64 as the first discharge plate 31 and the second discharge plate 32 rotate. The main purpose of this structure is to drive the rotation of the first discharge plate 31 and the second discharge plate 32.

[0032] It should be noted that the material holding cylinder 2 includes an arc cylinder 21 and a connecting plate 22. The connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the arc cylinder 21 by bolts. The lower end face of the connecting plate 22 is in contact with the second discharge plate 32. The arc cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the machine plate 1. This structure is easy to disassemble and is beneficial for adjusting the second discharge plate 32.

[0033] It should be noted that the sorting output component 6 includes a first baffle 61, a second baffle 62, and a third baffle 63. The third baffle 63 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 22. The second baffle 62 and the first baffle 61 form a discharge channel 64. The first baffle 61 and the second baffle 62 are both fixedly connected to the machine plate 1. This structure is mainly used to output bottle caps neatly and orderly. The first baffle 61 and the second baffle 62 are used to limit the lateral displacement of the bottle caps, and the third baffle 63 is used to prevent the bottle caps from flying out of the discharge channel 64.

[0034] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first baffle 61 has a hole 11, and a telescopic cylinder 12 is provided on one side of the first baffle 61. The telescopic cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the machine plate 1. A fourth baffle 13 is fixedly provided at the output end of the telescopic cylinder 12. A counting sensor is provided on the output track 7. The counting sensor is connected to the external control system (PLC controller). The counting sensor transmits the number of bottle caps passing through to the external control system in a timely manner. When the number of bottle caps exceeds the preset number within a certain period of time, the external control system transmits the signal to the telescopic cylinder 12. The telescopic cylinder 12 extends and drives the fourth baffle 13 to pass through the hole 11 of the first baffle 61 and contact the second baffle 62 to prevent the continued output of bottle caps and avoid blockage of the output track 7.

[0035] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows:

[0036] When changing a bottle cap with a smaller diameter to a larger diameter one for hot stamping, stop the bottle cap hot stamping machine. First, remove the connecting plate 22 from the arc cylinder 21. Then, loosen all the locking bolts 9. Rotate the second discharge plate 32 along the drive shaft 52 at a certain angle until the diameter of the effective discharge groove 15 formed by the discharge groove 4 of the second discharge plate 32 and the discharge groove 4 of the first discharge plate 31 can accommodate the bottle cap. Tighten all the locking bolts 9 to fix the second discharge plate 32 to the first discharge plate 31. Then, fix the connecting plate 22. Installed onto the arc cylinder 21; after the external lifting mechanism conveys the bottle caps to the material container 2, the motor 51 is started, and the motor 51 outputs power to the drive shaft 52. The rotation of the drive shaft 52 will drive the rotation of the first discharge plate 31, and the rotation of the first discharge plate 31 will drive the second discharge plate 32 to rotate together. The bottle caps in the material container 2 will fall into the discharge trough 4, and then enter the discharge channel 64 with the rotation of the first discharge plate 31 and the second discharge plate 32. Then, they slide from the discharge channel 64 into the output track 7 and enter the hot stamping device through the output track 7.
