Abstract

This utility model discloses a capping mechanism for an integrated dye mixing equipment, relating to the field of dye mixing technology. The device includes a mounting frame, and a clamping plate, a placement plate, and a lifting cylinder arranged from top to bottom on the mounting frame. When the material bottle is placed onto the limiting frame through the clamping ring, the lifting cylinder drives the placement plate to lower the bottle body. At this point, the bottle cap is precisely blocked by the clamping ring on the clamping plate, achieving cap removal. Subsequently, a drive motor located at the bottom of the placement plate directly drives a magnet to rotate, and through magnetic coupling, drives the magnetic strip on the bottle body to perform non-contact stirring of the material. By efficiently integrating cap removal and stirring into the same workstation, the device not only simplifies the equipment structure and significantly shortens the work cycle, but also avoids the risk of spillage caused by transferring the material bottle between workstations, significantly improving the automation, reliability, and production efficiency of dye mixing.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dye blending technology, and in particular to a decapping mechanism for an integrated dye blending device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of dye production and processing, dye blending is a crucial step in ensuring the color accuracy, stability, and application effect of the final product. With the increasing demands for dye quality from downstream industries such as textiles, printing, and coatings, and the accelerating trend towards automation and intelligent production processes, the manual operation aspects of traditional dye blending processes have gradually revealed problems such as low efficiency, insufficient precision, high labor intensity, and susceptibility to human factors, making them unsuitable for modern large-scale production. Among these, the dispensing bottle, as the core container for dye blending, has become a key bottleneck restricting overall blending efficiency and automation levels, involving a series of operations such as opening, adding, stirring, and closing the cap.

[0003] To improve automation, some devices for automatic cap opening and stirring have emerged in existing technologies. However, these devices typically design the cap opening (or cap removal) function and the stirring function as two separate workstations or by two separate mechanisms. For example, a robotic arm or clamp first unscrews or pulls off the cap, then the opened bottle is transferred to another stirring station for stirring, and after stirring, it needs to be transferred again to a capping station for capping. This modular and separate design leads to problems such as complex equipment structure, large footprint, long production cycle, and cumbersome control system. At the same time, the transfer of material bottles between multiple workstations also increases the risk of bottle tipping and material spillage. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a capping mechanism for an integrated dye mixing equipment, which can solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the transfer of material bottles between multiple workstations also increases the risk of bottle tipping and material spillage.

[0005] A capping mechanism for an integrated dye mixing device includes a mounting frame, and a clamping plate, a placement plate, and a lifting cylinder arranged from top to bottom on the mounting frame. The top of the placement plate has several limiting frames for accommodating the body of a material bottle, and the bottom of the placement plate has a driving component corresponding to each limiting frame. The clamping plate has locking holes corresponding to the limiting frames, and locking rings for restricting the caps of the material bottles are provided at the locking holes. The driving end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the placement plate and is used to drive the placement plate to lift and lower the body of the material bottle relative to the cap of the material bottle. The driving component includes a driving motor and a magnet. The driving motor is mounted on the bottom of the placement plate through a connecting frame, and the magnet is installed on the driving end of the driving motor. The body of the material bottle has a magnetic strip that cooperates with the magnet.

[0006] Preferably, the mounting bracket is equipped with two limiting slide rods, each limiting slide rod is provided with a limiting slide sleeve, the limiting slide sleeve is connected to the support frame, and the top of the support frame is connected to the placement plate.

[0007] Preferably, the support frame includes a base plate, on which limit sleeves are installed at both ends, and the four corners of the base plate are detachably connected to the placement plate via support rods.

[0008] Preferably, the card hole is located directly above the placement plate.

[0009] Preferably, the retaining ring is detachably connected to the retaining plate by bolts.

[0010] Preferably, a mounting plate connected to the placement plate is provided on one side of the limiting frame, and the mounting plate is equipped with multiple detection sensors.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting plate includes a ramp, which is detachably connected to the detection sensor.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the lifting cylinder is detachably connected to the mounting bracket via a fixed seat.

[0013] Preferably, a reinforcing plate is provided inside the mounting frame, and a connecting plate is installed on the outside of the mounting frame.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting frame and the card hole are each provided with three.

[0015] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: The capping mechanism of this integrated dye mixing equipment works by placing the bottle body onto the limiting frame through the retaining ring. A lifting cylinder drives the placement plate to lower the bottle body, at which point the bottle cap is precisely blocked by the retaining ring on the plate, thus achieving cap removal. Subsequently, a drive motor located at the bottom of the placement plate directly drives a magnet to rotate, and through magnetic coupling, drives the magnetic strip on the bottle body to perform non-contact stirring of the material. By efficiently integrating capping and stirring into the same station, the equipment structure is simplified, the operating cycle is significantly shortened, and the risk of spillage caused by transferring the bottle between stations is avoided, significantly improving the automation, reliability, and production efficiency of dye mixing.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, but it should be understood that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model proposes a cap removal mechanism for an integrated dye mixing equipment, including a mounting frame 1, and a clamping plate 3, a placement plate 2, and a lifting cylinder 4 arranged from top to bottom on the mounting frame 1. The top of the placement plate 2 is provided with several limiting frames 5 for accommodating the bottle body 9 of the material bottle, and the bottom of the placement plate 2 is provided with a driving component 6 corresponding to each limiting frame 5. The clamping plate 3 is provided with clamping holes 7 corresponding to the limiting frames 5, and clamping rings 8 for limiting the bottle cap 10 of the material bottle are provided at the clamping holes 7. The driving end of the lifting cylinder 4 is connected to the placement plate 2 and is used to drive the placement plate 2 to lift and lower the bottle body 9 of the material bottle relative to the bottle cap 10. The driving component 6 includes a driving motor 61 and a magnet 62. The driving motor 61 is installed at the bottom of the placement plate 2 through a connecting frame 63, and the magnet 62 is installed at the driving end of the driving motor 61. The bottle body 9 of the material bottle is provided with a magnetic strip that cooperates with the magnet 62.

[0020] In this embodiment, by coaxially arranging the card plate 3, the liftable placement plate 2, and the drive assembly 6 from top to bottom, when the gripping mechanism on the dye mixing integrated equipment places the material bottle on the retaining ring 8, the bottle body 9 will pass through the retaining ring 8 and be placed on the limiting frame 5. At this time, the magnet 62 can attract the magnetic strip inside the bottle body 9 to fix the bottle body 9. The lifting cylinder 4 drives the placement plate 2 to lower the bottle body 9, so that the bottle cap 10 is accurately blocked by the retaining ring 8 on the card plate 3 to achieve cap removal. Subsequently, the drive motor 61 located at the bottom of the placement plate 2 can directly drive the magnet 62 to rotate, and drive the magnetic strip of the bottle body 9 to perform non-contact stirring of the material through magnetic coupling. By efficiently integrating the cap removal and stirring functions into the same workstation, the equipment structure is simplified, the operation cycle is greatly shortened, and the risk of tipping caused by the transfer of the material bottle between workstations is avoided. At the same time, the magnetic transmission ensures the sealing of the stirring process, significantly improving the automation, reliability, and production efficiency of dye mixing.

[0021] By using lifting cylinder 4 as the drive source, the cost of the pneumatic system is much lower than that of a servo motor system of the same specifications, directly reducing the equipment manufacturing cost. The cylinder itself has a compact structure and large output force, which simplifies the supporting lifting frame, guide mechanism, etc., and promotes the lightweight and compact adjustment of the overall mechanical structure. The cylinder can achieve precise positioning and stopping through a simple solenoid valve, which greatly reduces the number of I / O points required for control. This directly simplifies the PLC program and reduces its occupied contacts, improves system reliability, and reduces the complexity and cost of the electrical control system.

[0022] Specifically, the inner diameter of the retaining ring 8 is larger than the outer diameter of the bottle body 9 and smaller than the outer diameter of the bottle cap 10. This allows the bottle body 9 to move up and down with the limiting frame 5 via the retaining ring 8, while the bottle cap 10 is restricted by the retaining ring 8. When the bottle body 9 descends, the bottle cap 10 is blocked by the retaining ring 8 and detaches from the bottle body 9. After mixing, the lifting cylinder 4 drives the placement plate 2 to raise the bottle body 9, so that the bottle body 9 and the bottle cap 10 come into contact and combine. At this time, the components on the gripping mechanism will prevent the bottle cap 10 from rising, ensuring that the bottle body 9 and the bottle cap 10 come into contact and combine. Then, the gripping mechanism on the dye mixing integrated equipment grabs the bottle body 9 and places it in the waiting area 5.

[0023] Among them, the card hole 7 is located directly above the placement plate 2, and there are three of each of the limiting frame 5 and the card hole 7.

[0024] like Figure 5 The image shows the installation location of the capping mechanism on the integrated dye mixing equipment.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, two limiting slide rods 11 are installed on the mounting frame 1. A limiting slide sleeve 12 is provided on the limiting slide rod 11. The limiting slide sleeve 12 is connected to the support frame 13. The top of the support frame 13 is connected to the placement plate 2. The limiting slide sleeve 12 slides on the limiting slide rod 11, and the limiting slide rod 11 limits the support frame 13 and the placement plate 2, thereby enhancing the stability of the movement of the placement plate 2.

[0026] The support frame 13 includes a base plate 1301, on which limit sleeves 12 are installed at both ends. The four corners of the base plate 1301 are detachably connected to the placement plate 2 via support rods 1302. The limit sleeves 12 installed at both ends of the base plate 1301, in conjunction with the limit rods 11, form a stable double-point guide mechanism, which effectively prevents the placement plate 2 from deflecting or jamming during the lifting process, ensuring the stability and accuracy of vertical movement. At the same time, the detachable connection between the base plate 1301 and the placement plate 2 via the support rods 1302 at the four corners not only makes the overall frame structure stable, but also facilitates quick disassembly and separation, improving the maintainability of the equipment.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the retaining ring 8 is detachably connected to the retaining plate 3 by bolts 14; when different sizes of material bottles need to be processed, the retaining ring 8 that matches can be quickly replaced. At the same time, as a vulnerable part, the retaining ring 8 can be easily replaced independently after long-term wear, which greatly reduces the maintenance difficulty and long-term use cost of the equipment.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a mounting plate 15 connected to the placement plate 2 is provided on one side of the limiting frame 5. The mounting plate 15 is equipped with multiple detection sensors 16. The detection sensors 16 monitor in real time whether the material bottle in the limiting frame 5 is in place, providing accurate signal feedback for the automated operation of the mechanism.

[0029] The mounting plate 15 includes a ramp 1501, which is detachably connected to the detection sensor 16. By using the ramp 1501 to install the detection sensor 16, the detection sensor 16 can be located inside the mounting frame 1, reducing the installation space.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the lifting cylinder 4 is detachably connected to the mounting frame 1 via a fixed base 19. When the lifting cylinder 4 needs maintenance, replacement or position adjustment, it can be easily removed from the mounting frame 1 without changing the structure of the entire frame, which greatly improves the maintainability and replacement efficiency of key power components.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a reinforcing plate 17 is provided inside the mounting frame 1, and a connecting plate 18 is installed on the outside of the mounting frame 1; the reinforcing plate 17 enhances the stability of the mounting frame 1, and the connecting plate 1 facilitates the installation of the mounting frame 1 on the integrated dye mixing equipment.

[0032] Working principle: When the gripping mechanism on the dye mixing integrated equipment places the material bottle on the retaining ring 8, the bottle body 9 will pass through the retaining ring 8 and be placed on the limiting frame 5. At this time, the magnet 62 can attract the magnetic strip inside the bottle body 9 to fix the bottle body 9. The lifting cylinder 4 drives the placement plate 2 to lower the bottle body 9, so that the bottle cap 10 is accurately blocked by the retaining ring 8 on the retaining plate 3 to achieve cap removal. Subsequently, the drive motor 61 located at the bottom of the placement plate 2 can directly drive the magnet 62 to rotate. Through magnetic coupling, the magnetic strip of the bottle body 9 is driven to perform non-contact stirring of the material. By efficiently integrating the cap removal, stirring and cap closing functions into the same station, the equipment structure is simplified, the operation cycle is greatly shortened, and the risk of tipping caused by the transfer of the material bottle between stations is avoided.

[0033] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of the present utility model. However, the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
