Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automatic capping technology, specifically referring to a bottle cap directional conveying and capping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic and glass bottles are the mainstream packaging carriers for various liquid and solid products. The tightening and loosening of bottle caps after repackaging now largely relies on automatic capping machines for efficient operation. The stable operation of automatic capping machines depends on the precise coordination of auxiliary equipment. Among these, the cap feeding mechanism is a key component, responsible for orienting and orderly conveying caps to the cap feeding station, ensuring a continuous supply of caps to the automatic capping machine. Its conveying efficiency and stability directly determine the capacity and product qualification rate of the entire cap tightening production line.

[0003] Currently, most bottle cap feeding mechanisms in the industry use conveyor belts to lift and feed bottle caps. The working principle of this type of structure is as follows: the friction of the conveyor belt surface or specific raised structures lift the bottle caps accumulated in the lower hopper upwards and transport them to a pre-set cap chute inlet. Gravity then guides the bottle caps into the cap chute, ultimately supplying them to the automatic capping machine. However, this process of guiding bottle caps into the cap chute lacks external guiding force, causing some bottle caps to fail to enter the chute smoothly. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bottle cap orientation conveying mechanism to at least partially solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model proposes a bottle cap directional conveying cap mechanism, comprising: Bottle cap compartment; A support frame is provided on one side of the bottle cap compartment, and a top cover groove is provided on one side of the support frame; The upper cover slide is located on one side of the support frame, corresponding to and connected to the upper cover groove; A circulating conveyor belt, with one end rotating on a support frame and the other end located inside the bottle cap compartment; Multiple sets of lifting plates are evenly distributed on the circulating conveyor belt, and the distance between two sets of lifting plates is greater than the diameter of the bottle cap but less than twice the diameter of the bottle cap. The vibratory feeding mechanism is mounted on the support frame and is located near the upper cover slide. The upper part of the support frame and the front side of the upper cover slide are both equipped with protective plates. The protective plates on the support frame are located on the upper and lower sides of the vibrating feeding mechanism. The lifting plate and the upper cover slide are both inclined. The height of the lifting plate near the upper cover slide is lower than the height of the end away from the upper cover slide.

[0006] Furthermore, the vibratory feeding mechanism includes a vibratory box, a vibratory plate, and a vibratory assembly. The vibratory box is mounted on a support frame and contains a drive motor. The vibratory assembly consists of multiple sets, with one set of the vibratory assembly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. Adjacent sets of the vibratory assemblies are connected via chain drive. The vibratory plate is connected to the multiple sets of vibratory assemblies and is used to vibrate and move to a corresponding set of lifting plates.

[0007] Furthermore, the vibration assembly includes a rotating shaft, a turntable, a drive column, and a drive plate. The rotating shaft is rotatably disposed inside the vibration chamber. The rotating shaft of one set of vibration assemblies is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. Sprockets are fixedly disposed on adjacent sets of the rotating shafts. The chain is sleeved on the sprockets and meshes with the sprockets. The turntable is fixedly disposed on the rotating shaft. The drive column is eccentrically disposed on the turntable. One end of the drive plate has a drive groove. The drive column is slidably disposed in the drive groove to push the drive plate to slide back and forth. The other end of the drive plate is slidably disposed through the side wall of the vibration chamber and connected to the vibration plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the circulating conveyor belt is provided with adsorption holes, the support frame is provided with an adsorption box, the adsorption box is provided with an adsorption cavity, the side of the adsorption cavity facing the upper cover section of the circulating conveyor belt is open, the upper cover section of the circulating conveyor belt is in contact with the open side of the adsorption cavity, and the adsorption box is connected to an adsorption pump through an adsorption pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the width of the lifting plate is less than the thickness of the bottle cap.

[0011] Furthermore, the protective plate is a transparent glass plate.

[0012] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: The inclined lifting plate guides the bottle cap to slide naturally towards the transfer end by gravity, providing basic guidance for entering the upper cover slide. With the assistance of the vibration feeding mechanism, the corresponding lifting plate is tapped to generate slight vibration, which effectively breaks the transfer obstacles caused by the bottle cap's posture deviation or slight jamming, and further pushes the bottle cap smoothly into the upper cover slide.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection.

[0017] In the description of the embodiments, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", 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 the embodiments 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 the embodiments.

[0018] See Figure 1In this embodiment, the present invention provides a bottle cap directional conveying and capping mechanism, including a bottle cap bin 1, a support frame 2, a capping slide 4, a circulating conveyor belt 5, multiple sets of lifting plates 6, and a vibrating unloading mechanism 7; the support frame 2 is located on one side of the bottle cap bin 1, and a capping groove 3 is opened on one side of the support frame 2; the capping slide 4 is located on one side of the support frame 2, corresponding to and communicating with the capping groove 3; one end of the circulating conveyor belt 5 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 2, and the other end is located inside the bottle cap bin 1. The circulating rotation drive of the circulating conveyor belt 5 and the cooperation between its loading end and the bottle cap bin 1 are existing technologies; multiple sets of lifting plates 6 are evenly arranged on the circulating conveyor belt 5, and the distance between two sets of lifting plates 6 is greater than the diameter of the bottle cap but less than the diameter of the bottle cap. Twice the size of the bottle caps, the bottle caps are conveyed and lifted by the lifting plate 6 when the circulating conveyor belt 5 rotates; the vibrating feeding mechanism 7 is set on the support frame 2 and is located near the upper cover slide 4. The vibrating feeding mechanism 7 knocks and moves a set of lifting plates 6 to one side of the upper cover slide 4, assisting the bottle caps to enter the upper cover slide 4 from the lifting plate 6; the upper part of the support frame 2 and the front side of the upper cover slide 4 are both equipped with protective plates 8. The protective plates 8 on the support frame 2 are located on the upper and lower sides of the vibrating feeding mechanism 7. The protective plates 8 are set to prevent the bottle caps from accidentally falling from a height and causing damage. The lifting plate 6 and the upper cover slide 4 are both set at an angle. The height of the end of the lifting plate 6 near the upper cover slide 4 is lower than the height of the end away from the upper cover slide 4.

[0019] As a specific embodiment, the width of the lifting plate 6 is less than the thickness of the bottle cap, and the bottle cap with its inner surface facing the circulating conveyor belt 5 is prone to falling off the lifting plate 6 during the lifting and conveying process.

[0020] As a specific embodiment, the protective plate 8 is a transparent glass plate, which makes it easy to observe the conveying status of the bottle cap on the circulating conveyor belt 5 and the top cover slide 4.

[0021] In practical use, the bottle cap is placed in the bottle cap compartment 1. During the rotation of the circulating conveyor belt 5, the bottle cap is conveyed and lifted by the lifting plate 6. Since the lifting plate 6 is inclined, the bottle cap moves towards the lower end of the lifting plate 6 under the action of gravity. When the bottle cap is lifted and conveyed to the upper cover slide 4, it can smoothly slide along the upper cover groove 3 into the upper cover slide 4. Furthermore, by tapping the corresponding set of lifting plates 6 by the vibrating feeding mechanism 7, the smoothness of the transfer and sliding of the bottle cap from the lifting plate 6 to the upper cover slide 4 can be further improved.

[0022] See Figures 1-3In this embodiment, the vibration feeding mechanism 7 includes a vibration box 9, a vibration plate 10, and a vibration assembly 11. The vibration box 9 is mounted on the support frame 2 and is equipped with a drive motor 12. The vibration assembly 11 is provided in multiple sets. One set of vibration assemblies 11 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 12. Adjacent sets of vibration assemblies 11 are connected by a chain 13. The vibration plate 10 is connected to multiple sets of vibration assemblies 11 and is used to vibrate and move to a corresponding set of lifting plates 6. By vibrating and striking the lifting plates 6, the bottle caps on the lifting plates 6 are smoothly moved from the lifting plates 6 into the upper cover slide 4.

[0023] See Figure 3 In this embodiment, the vibration assembly 11 includes a rotating shaft 14, a turntable 15, a drive column 16, and a drive plate 17. The rotating shaft 14 is rotatably disposed inside the vibration box 9. The rotating shaft 14 of one set of vibration assemblies 11 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 12. Sprockets are fixedly disposed on two adjacent sets of rotating shafts 14. A chain 13 is sleeved on the sprocket and meshes with the sprocket. The turntable 15 is fixedly disposed on the rotating shaft 14. The drive column 16 is eccentrically disposed on the turntable 15. One end of the drive plate 17 is provided with a drive groove 18. The drive column 16 is slidably disposed in the drive groove 18 to push the drive plate 17 to slide back and forth. The other end of the drive plate 17 is slidably disposed on the side wall of the vibration box 9 and connected to the vibration plate 10.

[0024] In practical use, the drive motor 12 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 14 of a set of vibration components 11 to rotate. Under the transmission of the chain 13, the rotating shafts 14 of multiple sets of vibration components 11 are driven to rotate synchronously. The rotating shaft 14 drives the turntable 15 to rotate, and the turntable 15 slides along the drive groove 18 of the drive column 16, applying force to the drive plate 17. The drive plate 17 slides along the side wall of the vibration box 9. When the drive plate 17 approaches the circulating conveyor belt 5, a set of lifting plates 6 moves to correspond with the drive plate 17. The drive plate 17 strikes the set of lifting plates 6, and the vibration of the lifting plates 6 causes the bottle caps on them to move along the inclined lifting plates 6 into the upper cover slide 4.

[0025] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the circulating conveyor belt 5 is provided with adsorption holes 19, the support frame 2 is provided with adsorption box 20, the adsorption box 20 is provided with adsorption chamber 21, the side of the adsorption chamber 21 facing the upper cover section of the circulating conveyor belt 5 is open, the upper cover section of the circulating conveyor belt 5 is in contact with the open side of the adsorption chamber 21, and the adsorption box 20 is externally connected to the adsorption pump 23 through the adsorption pipe 22.

[0026] In practical use, the adsorption pump 23 draws air from the adsorption chamber 21 and applies it to the bottle caps on the circulating conveyor belt 5 through the adsorption holes 19. When the outer surface of the bottle cap faces the circulating conveyor belt 5, the top of the bottle cap is stably adsorbed onto the circulating conveyor belt 5 under the action of adsorption force, preventing the bottle cap from falling off during the lifting and conveying process. When the inner surface of the bottle cap faces the circulating conveyor belt 5, the top of the bottle cap cannot contact the circulating conveyor belt 5, and the bottle cap will fall into the bottle cap bin 1 during the lifting and conveying process, requiring re-lifting and conveying. The above structure and conveying process ensure the directional conveying of the bottle caps.

[0027] See Figure 4 In this embodiment, multiple sets of branch pipes 24 are evenly distributed in the adsorption chamber 21, and adsorption ports 25 are opened on the branch pipes 24. All sets of branch pipes 24 are connected to the adsorption pipe 22. The arrangement of multiple sets of branch pipes 24 improves the uniformity of adsorption airflow distribution.
