Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of container packaging equipment, and specifically relates to a dual-mold capping device. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, sealed containers are widely used. Take beverage bottles as an example; they commonly use a screw-on cap design, allowing users to easily open them by simply twisting the cap, and most caps are reusable. In addition, there are double-sealed containers, such as medicine bottles and milk powder cans, which use a composite process of first sealing with an aluminum foil sealing film and then screwing on the cap. This design ensures both airtightness and the convenience of repeated opening.

[0003] Currently, the production process for these double-sealed containers has certain limitations. Traditional processes require two separate machines—an aluminum foil sealing machine and a capping machine—to complete the sealing: first, the inner layer is sealed using the aluminum foil sealing machine, then the container is transferred to the capping machine for the outer cap. This segmented production method not only requires the purchase and maintenance of two sets of equipment, significantly increasing production costs, but also reduces production efficiency due to the intermediate transfer steps. More importantly, the coordination between the equipment increases the complexity of the production line, further impacting overall sealing efficiency. Therefore, there is significant room for optimization in terms of both cost control and production efficiency in existing processes. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for a dual-mold capping equipment to solve the problems of high cost and low efficiency caused by the need to purchase two aluminum foil sealing machines and capping machines in the current double-sealing process.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a dual-mode capping device, including a capping device housing, a power component and a control component inside the housing, and a capping support component fixedly mounted on the housing. The other end of the support component is connected to the capping component, and the axis of the support component is perpendicular to the ground. The capping component includes an aluminum foil capping part and a screw-on capping part. The aluminum foil capping part is used to fix the aluminum foil sealing film to the container, and the screw-on capping part is used to screw the cap into the container. A conveyor belt assembly is also provided between the housing and the capping component. The conveyor belt assembly is used to transport uncapped and capped containers, and is fixedly connected to the housing.

[0006] Furthermore, the power assembly includes a positioning disc motor, the motor shaft of which is fixedly connected to the positioning disc assembly. The positioning disc assembly is positioned between the conveyor belt assembly and the sealing assembly, and the conveyor belt assembly passes through the gap between the positioning disc assembly and the sealing equipment housing.

[0007] Furthermore, the positioning disk assembly has a disc-shaped structure, and the motor shaft of the positioning disk motor is fixed at the center of the positioning disk assembly; the edge array of the positioning disk assembly is provided with several positioning grooves, which are used to engage the container.

[0008] Furthermore, the conveyor belt assembly is not located on either side below the positioning plate assembly, but is equipped with conveyor belt limiting plates, which are perpendicular to the sealing equipment housing.

[0009] Furthermore, the capping assembly includes a first robotic arm assembly, which is fixedly connected to the capping support assembly and electrically connected to the control assembly. The first robotic arm assembly is used to place unused aluminum foil sealing film onto the container.

[0010] Furthermore, the capping assembly includes a second robotic arm assembly, which is fixedly connected to the capping support assembly and electrically connected to the control assembly. The second robotic arm assembly is used to place unused caps onto the container.

[0011] Furthermore, a lifting assembly is provided directly below the aluminum foil cap and the screw cap, which is used to lift the container directly below the aluminum foil cap and the screw cap, and the lifting assembly is electrically connected to the control assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, a first limiting cylinder is provided on the aluminum foil sealing part, which is used to limit the container when the lifting assembly lifts the container, and a second limiting cylinder is provided on the screw cap sealing part.

[0013] Furthermore, the sealing device housing is fixedly connected to an interactive component, which is electrically connected to the control component.

[0014] Furthermore, the interactive component includes a display section and a button section. The display section is used to display information, and the button section is used to send information to the control component.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the dual-mode capping device provided by this utility model are as follows: Due to the inclusion of a capping device housing, which also houses a capping support assembly, and with the capping support assembly connected to the other end of the capping assembly, the capping assembly comprises an aluminum foil sealing film capping assembly and a screw-on capping assembly. A conveyor belt assembly is also provided between the capping device housing and the capping assembly. The container to be sealed is first transferred to the aluminum foil sealing film capping assembly for aluminum foil sealing. Then, the container is transferred to the screw-on capping assembly for screw-on capping. This allows both processes to be completed on a single device, requiring only one set of equipment (including the capping device housing, conveyor belt, etc.), saving procurement costs. Furthermore, the transfer from the aluminum foil sealing film capping assembly to the screw-on capping assembly eliminates intermediate steps, saving transfer time and improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 1 This is a front view schematic diagram of a dual-mode capping device; Figure 2 This is a top view of the positioning disc assembly. Detailed Implementation

[0017] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description is in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1 to 2 The present invention provides a more detailed description of a dual-mode capping device.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the figure, a dual-mode capping device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a capping device housing 100, inside which a power component 200 and a control component are disposed. A capping support component 400 is also fixedly disposed on the housing 100, and the other end of the capping support component 400 is connected to a capping component. The axis of the capping support component 400 is perpendicular to the ground. The capping component includes an aluminum foil capping part 510 and a screw capping part 520. The aluminum foil capping part 510 is used to fix the aluminum foil sealing film to the container 900, and the screw capping part 520 is used to screw the cap into the container 900. A conveyor belt assembly 300 is also disposed between the capping device housing 100 and the capping component. The conveyor belt assembly 300 is used to transport the uncapped and capped containers 900, and the conveyor belt assembly 300 is fixedly connected to the capping device housing 100.

[0019] In use, the unsealed container 900 is first placed on the conveyor belt assembly 300. This step can be done manually or automatically by a robotic arm. The container 900 placed on the conveyor belt assembly 300 will move as the conveyor belt rotates. Before the container 900 reaches the aluminum foil sealing section 510, unused aluminum foil sealing film needs to be placed on the sealing area of ​​the container 900 manually or mechanically for subsequent sealing. After the container 900 reaches directly below the aluminum foil sealing section 510, the aluminum foil sealing section 510 seals the container 900 with the aluminum foil sealing film. This step is usually done by heat pressing. The aluminum foil sealing section 510 can be performed using existing equipment.

[0020] After the aluminum foil sealing section 510 seals the container 900 with aluminum foil sealing film, the container 900 is moved below the screw cap sealing section 520. Before entering the screw cap sealing section 520, unused caps need to be placed on the sealing area of ​​the container 900 manually or mechanically. After the container 900 is moved below the screw cap sealing section 520, the screw cap sealing section 520 screws the cap on, which is usually done by rotating the cap through friction or clamping. The screw cap sealing section 520 used here can also be performed using existing equipment.

[0021] The aluminum foil sealing section 510 and the screw-on sealing section 520 are closely spaced. After the aluminum foil sealing section 510 is sealed, the container 900 will be transferred to the screw-on sealing section 520 for sealing in a very short time. This design shortens the transfer time and improves efficiency. Furthermore, both the aluminum foil sealing section 510 and the screw-on sealing section 520 are electrically connected to and controlled by the control component, and both are powered by the power component 200. This design saves on equipment and costs. It achieves a dual-mode operation of aluminum foil sealing film sealing and screw-on sealing.

[0022] In some embodiments, the power assembly 200 includes a positioning disk motor 210, the motor shaft of which is fixedly connected to the positioning disk assembly 600. The positioning disk assembly 600 is disposed between the conveyor belt assembly 300 and the capping assembly, and the conveyor belt assembly 300 passes through the gap between the positioning disk assembly 600 and the capping device housing 100. The positioning disk assembly 600 has a disc-shaped structure, and the motor shaft of the positioning disk motor 210 is fixed at the center of the positioning disk assembly 600. The edge array of the positioning disk assembly 600 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 610, which are used to engage the container 900. When the unsealed container 900 reaches the edge of the positioning disk assembly 600 via the conveyor belt, the container 900 will engage with the positioning grooves 610 of the positioning disk assembly 600 as the conveyor belt is driven. Driven by the rotation of the positioning disk assembly 600, the container 900 first goes to the aluminum foil capping part 510 and then to the screw capping part 520. After sealing, container 900 rotates onto conveyor belt assembly 300, which then moves container 900 away from positioning plate assembly 600. This design provides a certain degree of limitation for container 900 before sealing, ensuring that subsequent sealing processes are more efficient and accurate.

[0023] Understandably, the conveyor belt assembly 300 is not located on either side below the positioning plate assembly 600, but is equipped with conveyor belt limiting plates 310, which are perpendicular to the capping equipment housing 100. When the container 900 moves on the conveyor belt assembly 300, the conveyor belt limiting plates 310 are located on both sides of the container 900, which can limit the container 900 to a certain extent, preventing the container 900 from moving partially or completely outside the conveyor belt assembly 300 due to accidental factors, thus affecting subsequent sealing processes.

[0024] In this invention, the capping assembly includes a first robotic arm assembly 530, which is fixedly connected to the capping support assembly 400 and electrically connected to the control assembly. The first robotic arm assembly 530 is used to place unused aluminum foil sealing film onto the container 900. The capping assembly also includes a second robotic arm assembly 540, which is fixedly connected to the capping support assembly 400 and electrically connected to the control assembly. The second robotic arm assembly 540 is used to place unused caps onto the container 900. The inclusion of the first and second robotic arm assemblies 530 reduces manual intervention and improves the working efficiency and accuracy of the dual-mode capping device. Alternatively, commercially available robotic arms can be used.

[0025] In some embodiments, a lifting assembly 700 is provided directly below the aluminum foil cap 510 and the screw-on cap 520. The lifting assembly 700 is used to lift the container 900 directly below the aluminum foil cap 510 and the screw-on cap 520. The lifting assembly 700 is electrically connected to a control assembly. A first limiting cylinder 511 is provided on the aluminum foil cap 510, which is used to limit the container 900 when the lifting assembly 700 lifts it. A second limiting cylinder 521 is provided on the screw-on cap 520. This design can improve the sealing accuracy to a certain extent. Before sealing, the container 900 is further limited by the lifting of the lifting assembly 700 and the action of the first limiting cylinder 511 or the second limiting cylinder 521.

[0026] Understandably, the sealing device housing 100 is fixedly connected to an interactive component 800, which is electrically connected to the control component.

[0027] The interactive component 800 includes a display unit 810 and a button unit 820. The display unit 810 is used to display information, and the buttons are used to send information to the control component. The display unit 810 can display the current working status of the dual-mode sealing device and can also input information via a touch screen. The button unit 820 can be used for operations such as powering on or off.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
