Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bottled beverage production equipment, and more specifically to a capping device for bottled beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] When filling liquids or materials using bottles, the bottles usually need to be capped after filling. Currently, this is generally done manually by rotating the caps onto the filled bottles. This method is labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0003] The existing utility model patent CN214399732U describes a capping machine. It involves placing the storage bottles to be capped vertically inside a fixed base, securing the bottom of the bottles with a clamping spring and two fixing clips, and using anti-slip pads for anti-slip. A capping control switch controls the clamping cylinder and capping motor to complete the capping operation. However, this utility model has the following problems: the feeding and positioning processes still rely on manual labor, resulting in a low degree of automation. The operator must place the bottles to be capped vertically one by one inside the fixed base, manually adjusting the bottle position to ensure the bottle opening is perfectly aligned with the center axis of the capping machine head. Otherwise, misalignment, failure to tighten the cap, or damage to the bottle opening may occur. Furthermore, the exposed capping machine head poses a serious safety hazard. If the operator accidentally touches the rotating capping machine head due to inattention, operational errors, or sudden equipment malfunction, it can easily cause scratches, entanglement, or other mechanical injuries. Therefore, this utility model proposes a capping device for bottled beverage production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a capping device for bottled beverage production, which can realize automated conveying and positioning, improve capping efficiency, and add a protective structure to ensure the safety of operators.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A capping device for bottled beverage production includes a base one and a base two fixedly connected to one side. Both base one and base two have several legs fixed to their lower ends. Side plates are fixed to both sides of the upper end of base one, and a transport section is provided at both ends between the side plates. A panel is provided on the upper end of base two, and a rotating plate is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the panel via a rotating section. Several slots are equidistantly arranged around the rotating plate. A top plate is fixed to the upper end of base two via a vertical plate. A cylinder device one is fixed to the upper end of the top plate. The output end of the cylinder device one passes through the top plate and is connected to a sealing cap. A motor three is fixed inside the sealing cap, and the output end of the motor three is connected to a capping body.

[0006] Furthermore, the transport section includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to both sides of the side plate, a transport belt is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and a motor for driving the rotating shaft is fixed on one side of the side plate corresponding to the rotating shaft.

[0007] Furthermore, several support shafts are rotatably provided between the side plates, and the support shafts are located between the conveyor belts and abut against the upper inner side of the conveyor belts.

[0008] Furthermore, a notch is provided in the center of the side plate near the second base. An arc-shaped baffle is fixed to the upper end of the second base. The two ends of the arc-shaped baffle are fixedly connected to the side plates at both ends of the notch. The panel is fixed between the arc-shaped baffles. The upper surface of the panel is parallel to the upper surface of the conveyor belt. Several support columns for the panel are fixed to the lower end of the panel.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotating part includes a second motor fixedly connected to the lower end of the panel, and the lower end of the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the panel through a central shaft, and the second motor drives the central shaft to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower end of the sealing cover has a hollow section, and an inner plate is fixed inside the sealing cover by a connecting column. The motor is fixed to the upper end of the inner plate, and the output end of the motor passes through the inner plate and is fixedly connected to the main body of the cap.

[0011] Furthermore, the sealing cover has fixing plates on both sides of the lower end, and several protrusions are fixedly installed on the opposite side of the fixing plates. The protrusions are made of rubber. A cylinder device for driving the fixing plates to move is fixed on the outer side of the sealing cover corresponding to the fixing plates.

[0012] Furthermore, baffle one and baffle two are respectively provided on the upper two sides of the conveyor belt.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in this specific embodiment, a capping device for bottled beverage production includes a base 1 and a base 2 101 fixedly connected to one side. Both the base 1 and the base 2 101 have several legs 10 fixed at their lower ends, which provide stable support for the device.

[0018] The upper end of the base 1 is fixed with side plates 13 on both sides. The two ends of the side plates 13 are provided with a transport section. The transport section includes a rotating shaft 12 that is rotatably connected to both sides of the side plates 13. The rotating shaft 12 is covered with a transport belt 11. A motor 21 that drives the rotating shaft 12 is fixed on one side of the side plate 13 corresponding to the rotating shaft 12. The motor 21 can drive the rotating shaft 12 to rotate and drive the transport belt 11 to move, so as to realize the conveying of bottles. With the subsequent setting of the rotating plate 2 and the slot 201, there is no need for manual loading and alignment, which effectively improves the efficiency of capping.

[0019] A number of support shafts 19 are rotatably provided between the side plates 13. The support shafts 19 are located between the conveyor belts 11 and abut against the upper inner side of the conveyor belts 11. The support shafts 19 provided between the side plates 13 abut against the upper inner side of the conveyor belts 11, which can prevent the conveyor belts 11 from sagging due to the weight of the bottles and ensure the stability of the position of the bottles during the conveying process.

[0020] Baffle 1 23 and baffle 2 22 are respectively provided on both sides of the upper end of the conveyor belt 11. A cylinder device 3 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the side plate 13 at the position corresponding to baffle 1 23 and baffle 2 22. The output end of the cylinder device 3 20 is fixedly connected to baffle 1 23 and baffle 2 22 respectively. The cylinder device 3 20 drives baffle 1 23 and baffle 2 22 to move along the width direction of the conveyor belt 11. The distance between the two baffles can be precisely adjusted by controlling the cylinder stroke to adapt to bottles of different diameters. The adjustment process does not require disassembly of parts, making operation convenient. The opposite side of baffle 1 23 and baffle 2 22 is provided with an inclined surface 24. The inclined surface 24 gradually converges inward from the side near the input end of the conveyor belt 11 to the side near the output end of the conveyor belt 11. The inclined surface 24 gradually converges from the input end to the output end of the conveyor belt 11, which can guide the bottles to automatically move towards the center of the conveyor belt 11 during the conveying process, so as to achieve neat arrangement of the bottles without manual adjustment.

[0021] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a notch 14 is provided in the center of the side plate 13 near the base 101. An arc-shaped baffle 15 is fixed to the upper end of the base 101. The two ends of the arc-shaped baffle 15 are fixedly connected to the side plates 13 at both ends of the notch 14. The arc-shaped baffle 15 conforms to the conveying path from the conveyor belt 11 to the panel 8, which can guide the bottle to be smoothly transferred from the conveyor belt 11 to the panel 8, avoiding the bottle from getting stuck or shifting during the transfer. The panel 8 is fixed between the arc-shaped baffles 15, and the upper surface of the panel 8 is flush with the upper surface of the conveyor belt 11. With parallel end faces, the arc-shaped baffle 15 is fixed at both ends to the notch 14 of the side plate 13, forming a closed conveying channel to prevent the bottle from falling from the side. The upper end face of the panel 8 is parallel to the upper end face of the conveyor belt 11, further ensuring the smoothness of the bottle transfer and reducing the risk of the bottle tipping over. Several base columns 801 supporting the panel 8 are fixed at the lower end of the panel 8. The base columns 801 provide stable support for the panel 8, preventing the panel 8 from deforming due to the weight of the rotating plate 2 and the bottle, ensuring the horizontality of the rotating plate 2 when it rotates, and improving the positioning accuracy.

[0022] The upper end of the panel 8 is provided with a rotating plate 2 via a rotating part. Several slots 201 are provided around the rotating plate 2 at equal intervals. Bottles can be inserted into the slots 201 and move to the capping position with the rotating plate 2. The rotating part includes a motor 9 fixedly connected to the lower end of the panel 8. The lower end of the rotating plate 2 is rotatably connected to the panel 8 via a central shaft 901. The motor 9 drives the central shaft 901 to rotate.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, a top plate 301 is fixed to the upper end of the base 2 101 via a vertical plate 3. A cylinder device 18 is fixed to the upper end of the top plate 301. The output end of the cylinder device 18 passes through the top plate 301 and is connected to a sealing cover 4. A hollow section 401 is provided at the lower end of the sealing cover 4. The hollow section 401 allows the sealing cover 4 to completely cover the capping body 701 and the top of the bottle during the capping process, isolating the high-speed rotating capping parts from the external working environment. This prevents workers from being scratched or entangled by accidentally touching the rotating capping head, thus completely solving the safety risks caused by the exposed capping head of existing capping equipment. This meets the enterprise's safety production management requirements and reduces the accident rate. An inner plate 5 is fixed inside the sealing cover 4 via a connecting column 501. A motor 3 7 is fixed to the upper end of the inner plate 5. The output end of the motor 3 7 passes through the inner plate 5 and is fixedly connected to the capping body 701.

[0024] The sealing cap 4 has fixing plates 6 on both sides of the lower inner end. Several protrusions 601 are fixedly installed on the opposite side of the fixing plates 6. The protrusions 601 are made of rubber. The rubber material is elastic and can adapt to the slight curvature deviation of the side wall of different bottles. At the same time, it avoids the metal fixing plates 6 from directly contacting the bottle and causing scratches on the bottle body, thus protecting the integrity of the bottle's appearance. A cylinder device 16 for driving the fixing plates 6 to move is fixed on the outer side of the sealing cap 4 corresponding to the fixing plates 6. The protrusions 601 increase the contact friction between the fixing plates 6 and the side wall of the bottle body, preventing the bottle body from rotating synchronously with the capping body 701 when the cap is screwed on, thus improving the reliability of the bottle body fixation.

[0025] The capping body 701 includes a connecting seat that is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 7. A capping sleeve is detachably connected to the lower end of the connecting seat. The capping sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with a suitable capping sleeve according to the size and texture of different bottle caps, without having to replace the entire capping body 701, thus reducing the cost of adapting the equipment to multiple bottle types. The inner side of the capping sleeve is provided with anti-slip teeth that fit the bottle cap. The anti-slip teeth on the inner side of the capping sleeve fit tightly with the bottle cap to prevent slippage during capping, ensuring effective transmission of capping torque and further improving the stability of capping quality.

[0026] Working principle: The control switches for the main power supply, motor 1 (21), motor 2 (9), motor 3 (7), and cylinder device are turned on in sequence. The rotation speed of motor 1 (21) is set, thereby controlling the conveying speed of conveyor belt 11 and the intermittent stop time of motor 2 (9) to match the capping time and the rotation speed of motor 3 (7) to match the cap tightening requirements. Bottles that have been filled and have caps placed on their mouths are placed one by one at the input end of conveyor belt 11. Driven by conveyor belt 11, the bottles move towards the output end. After being aligned by the inclined surfaces 24 of baffle 1 (23) and baffle 2 (22), they are locked in the slot 201. The rotating plate 2 is driven by motor 2 (9) to rotate, and the bottles move along the arc-shaped baffle 1. 5. Enter panel 8 until the slot 201 holding the bottle rotates to directly below the capping body 701, motor 29 stops; cylinder device 18 starts, the sealing cap 4 moves down to cover the top of the bottle, the capping body 701 contacts the bottle cap, cylinder device 2 16 starts, the fixing plate 6 clamps the bottle, motor 3 7 starts, the capping body 701 rotates to complete the capping, motor 3 7 stops; then cylinder device 2 16 drives the fixing plate 6 to reset, cylinder device 1 18 drives the sealing cap 4 to move up; motor 2 9 starts again, the rotating plate 2 rotates to rotate the capped bottle out to the subsequent conveying area, and at the same time the next bottle to be capped enters the capping area, repeating the above capping steps.

[0027] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are within its protection scope. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within its protection scope.
