Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bottle sealing, and more particularly to a bottle capping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The bottles are mainly used as disposable plastic packaging containers for liquids or solids such as beverages, food, pickles, honey, dried fruit, edible oil, and agricultural and veterinary drugs.

[0003] In the current bottle filling process, after filling, the bottle cap needs to be screwed on. Existing capping methods usually rely on manual operation or manual use of corresponding equipment. However, both manual and equipment-operated capping operations require human intervention, resulting in slow speed, low efficiency, and insecure sealing. Therefore, a bottle capping mechanism is needed to perform the rotating capping operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] To further improve capping efficiency and sealing strength, this application provides a bottle capping mechanism.

[0005] The bottle capping mechanism provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A bottle capping mechanism includes a base, a frame is fixedly installed on the base, a guide plate is fixedly installed on the frame, a clamping mechanism is provided on the guide plate, and a capping mechanism is provided on the frame.

[0006] The capping mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly installed on a frame. Multiple individual sliding frames are movably mounted on one side of the mounting plate. Each sliding frame has a corresponding second cylinder fixedly mounted on it. Each output end of the second cylinder has a corresponding rotating cylinder. Each rotating cylinder has a corresponding spring coil. Each spring coil is connected to a corresponding second gripper. Each sliding frame has a corresponding third motor fixedly mounted on it. One of the third motors' output ends is fixedly mounted with a second synchronous pulley. Another second synchronous pulley is fixedly mounted on the rotating cylinder. This second second synchronous pulley is connected to the top of the rotating cylinder via an external bearing and the output end of the second cylinder. A second synchronous belt connects the two second synchronous pulleys.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, by controlling the start of the second cylinder, the output end of the second cylinder drives the internal connecting shaft to move downward, and drives the spring ring to tighten, so that multiple second grippers clamp the bottle cap. Conversely, the second cylinder drives the connecting shaft to move upward, at which time the spring ring can be reset, and the release operation can be achieved.

[0008] At this point, by starting the third motor, the output of the third motor will drive the second synchronous pulley and the second synchronous belt to rotate. Through the cooperation of the bearings, the rotating cylinder and the second gripper can be selected, thereby enabling the capping operation. This eliminates the need for manual operation, thus further improving the capping efficiency and the sealing strength of the cap.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of corresponding first synchronous pulleys are rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting plate, and a first synchronous belt is connected to two of the first synchronous pulleys. A second motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting plate, and the output end of the second motor is fixedly mounted to one of the first synchronous pulleys.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple corresponding second motors are activated by control. The output of the second motors will drive the first synchronous pulley to rotate. The rotation of the first synchronous pulley will also drive the first synchronous belt to rotate. The moving first synchronous belt will drive the synchronous frame to move downward, thereby driving the sliding frame and the second gripper to move downward and move to the top of the bottle cap.

[0011] Preferably, a synchronization frame is fixedly installed on the first synchronization belt, and the synchronization frame is fixedly installed with the sliding frame.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a synchronization frame, the installation can be assisted.

[0013] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate, and one end of the first synchronous pulley is rotatably mounted on the support frame.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a support frame, the installation can be assisted.

[0015] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a fixed frame fixedly mounted on a guide plate, a first motor fixedly mounted on the fixed frame, a hinge rod fixedly mounted on the output end of the first motor, a drive rod connected to one end of the hinge rod, and a connecting plate connected to one end of the drive rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, by controlling the start of the first motor, the output end of the first motor will drive the hinge rod to rotate and push the drive rod to move, thereby driving the connecting plate and the displacement plate to move, and causing multiple first grippers to move to the outside.

[0017] Preferably, the clamping mechanism further includes a displacement plate fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate. Both the connecting plate and the displacement plate are slidably installed on the guide plate and are connected by a guide rail.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the displacement plate can be guided and moved by setting a guide plate.

[0019] Preferably, a base plate is fixedly installed on the top of the displacement plate, and a plurality of first cylinders are fixedly installed on the displacement plate. The output ends of the plurality of first cylinders are connected to corresponding connecting parts, and corresponding first grippers are connected to the plurality of connecting parts.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple corresponding first cylinders are activated by control. The output ends of the multiple first cylinders will push the connecting part to move, and drive the two corresponding first grippers to move closer to each other, thus clamping the bottle.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. This application employs a second gripper and other components. By controlling the activation of a second cylinder, the output end of the second cylinder drives the internal connecting shaft to move downwards, tightening the spring coil and causing multiple second grippers to clamp the bottle cap. Conversely, the second cylinder drives the connecting shaft to move upwards, allowing the spring coil to reset and release the cap. Then, by activating a third motor, the output end of the third motor drives the second synchronous pulley and the second synchronous belt to rotate. Through the cooperation of bearings, the rotating cylinder and the second grippers can be selected, enabling the capping operation. This eliminates the need for manual operation, thus improving capping efficiency and sealing strength.

[0023] 2. This application employs the cooperative action of the first gripper, etc. By controlling the start of the first motor, the output end of the first motor will drive the hinge rod to rotate and push the drive rod to move, thereby driving the connecting plate and the displacement plate to move, and causing multiple first grippers to move to the outside. At this time, multiple corresponding first cylinders can be controlled to start, and the output ends of the multiple first cylinders will push the connecting part to move, and drive the corresponding two first grippers to move closer to each other, thus clamping the bottle and facilitating subsequent capping operations.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses a bottle capping mechanism.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A bottle capping mechanism includes a base 1, a frame 2 fixedly mounted on the base 1, a guide plate 3 fixedly mounted on the frame 2, a clamping mechanism disposed on the guide plate 3, and a capping mechanism disposed on the frame 2.

[0033] The capping mechanism includes a mounting plate 5 fixedly installed on the frame 2. Multiple individual sliding frames 6 are vertically movable on one side of the mounting plate 5. Each sliding frame 6 is fixedly mounted with a corresponding second cylinder 21. Each output end of each second cylinder 21 is equipped with a corresponding rotating cylinder 24. Each rotating cylinder 24 is equipped with a corresponding spring ring 25. Each spring ring 25 is connected to a corresponding second gripper 26. Each sliding frame 6 is fixedly mounted with a corresponding third motor 27. One of the second synchronous pulleys 22 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the third motor 27. Another second synchronous pulley 22 is fixedly mounted on the rotating cylinder 24. The other second synchronous pulley 22 is connected to the top of the rotating cylinder 24 through an external bearing and the output end of the second cylinder 21. A second synchronous belt 23 is connected to the two second synchronous pulleys 22.

[0034] Among them, multiple sets of corresponding first synchronous pulleys 18 are rotatably installed on one side of the mounting plate 5, and a first synchronous belt 17 is connected to two first synchronous pulleys 18. A second motor 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 5, and the output end of the second motor 16 is fixedly installed to one of the first synchronous pulleys 18. A synchronous frame 19 is fixedly installed on the first synchronous belt 17, and the synchronous frame 19 is fixedly installed to the sliding frame 6. A support frame 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 5, and one end of the first synchronous pulley 18 is rotatably installed on the support frame 20.

[0035] In use, multiple corresponding second motors 16 are activated by control. The output of the second motors 16 drives the first synchronous pulley 18 to rotate. The rotation of the first synchronous pulley 18 drives the first synchronous belt 17 to rotate as well. The moving first synchronous belt 17 drives the synchronous frame 19 to move downward, thereby driving the sliding frame 6 and the second gripper 26 to move downward and move them above the bottle cap. At this time, the second cylinder 21 can be activated by control. The output of the second cylinder 21 drives the internal connecting shaft to move downward and drives the spring ring 25 to tighten, so that the multiple second grippers 26 clamp the bottle cap. Conversely, the second cylinder 21 drives the connecting shaft to move upward. At this time, the spring ring 25 can be reset, and the release operation can be achieved.

[0036] At this point, by starting the third motor 27, the output of the third motor 27 will drive the second synchronous pulley 22 and the second synchronous belt 23 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the bearings, the rotating cylinder 24 and the second gripper 26 can be selected, thereby enabling the capping operation. This eliminates the need for manual operation, thus further improving the capping efficiency and the sealing firmness of the cap.

[0037] Reference Figure 1-3 The clamping mechanism includes a fixed frame 4 fixedly mounted on the guide plate 3, a first motor 7 fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 4, a hinge rod 8 fixedly mounted on the output end of the first motor 7, a drive rod 10 connected to one end of the hinge rod 8, and a connecting plate 11 connected to one end of the drive rod 10.

[0038] In use, by controlling the start of the first motor 7, the output end of the first motor 7 will drive the hinge rod 8 to rotate and push the drive rod 10 to move, thereby driving the connecting plate 11 and the displacement plate 9 to move, and causing multiple first grippers 15 to move to the outside.

[0039] Reference Figure 2-3The clamping mechanism also includes a displacement plate 9 fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 11. The connecting plate 11 and the displacement plate 9 are both slidably installed on the guide plate 3 and connected by a guide rail. A base plate 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the displacement plate 9. Multiple first cylinders 12 are fixedly installed on the displacement plate 9. The output ends of the multiple first cylinders 12 are all connected to corresponding connecting parts 14. Each of the multiple connecting parts 14 is connected to a corresponding first gripper 15.

[0040] In use, by controlling the activation of multiple corresponding first cylinders 12, the output ends of the multiple first cylinders 12 will push the connecting part 14 to move, and drive the two corresponding first grippers 15 to move closer to each other, so as to clamp the bottle.

[0041] In this application, the clamping and releasing operations of the second gripper 26 are achieved through components such as the second cylinder 21, connecting shaft, and spring ring 25. This is a well-known existing mechanical structure and uses an existing connection method. Therefore, the specific installation structure and connection process are not described in detail. The output end of the second cylinder 21 and the rotating cylinder 24 are provided with corresponding bearings, which allows the rotating cylinder 24 to rotate independently. When the rotating cylinder 24 rotates, it does not drive the second cylinder 21 to rotate as well, so there is no motion interference. The connecting part 14 in this application is an existing scissor-type structure. By controlling its opening and closing, and controlling the two first grippers 15 to move closer and further apart, it is further existing technology. Therefore, the specific installation process and usage method are not described in detail. The power cord connection of the electronic device in this application uses existing technology for connection and use. Therefore, it is not described in detail.

[0042] The implementation principle of a bottle capping mechanism according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: In use, the bottle and the loose bottle cap located on the bottle are moved to one side of multiple corresponding first grippers 15 by the corresponding external turntable mechanism. At this time, the first motor 7 can be started. The output end of the first motor 7 will drive the hinge rod 8 to rotate and push the drive rod 10 to move, thereby driving the connecting plate 11 and the displacement plate 9 to move, and causing multiple first grippers 15 to move to the outside. At this time, multiple corresponding first cylinders 12 can be started. The output end of multiple first cylinders 12 will push the connecting part 14 to move and drive the two corresponding first grippers 15 to move closer to each other, so as to clamp the bottle.

[0043] At this time, by controlling the activation of multiple corresponding second motors 16, the output of the second motors 16 will drive the first synchronous pulley 18 to rotate. The rotation of the first synchronous pulley 18 will also drive the first synchronous belt 17 to rotate. The moving first synchronous belt 17 will drive the synchronous frame 19 to move downward, thereby driving the sliding frame 6 and the second gripper 26 to move downward and move to above the bottle cap. At this time, the second cylinder 21 can be activated. The output of the second cylinder 21 will drive the internal connecting shaft to move downward and drive the spring coil 25 to tighten, so that the multiple second grippers 26 can clamp the bottle cap. Conversely, the second cylinder 21 will drive the connecting shaft to move upward. At this time, the spring coil 25 can be reset, and the release operation can be realized.

[0044] At this point, by starting the third motor 27, the output of the third motor 27 will drive the second synchronous pulley 22 and the second synchronous belt 23 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the bearings, the rotating cylinder 24 and the second gripper 26 can be selected, thereby enabling the capping operation. This eliminates the need for manual operation, thus further improving the capping efficiency and the sealing firmness of the cap.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
