Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] See Figures 1-10 A semi-automatic bottle cap sealing machine includes a frame 100, a conveying mechanism 200, a rotating mechanism 300, a feeding mechanism 400, a straightening mechanism 500, and a tightening mechanism 600. The conveying mechanism 200 is disposed on the frame 100 and is used to feed bottles 700 into or out of the rotating mechanism 300. The rotating mechanism 300 is disposed on the frame 100 and is used to receive bottles 700 from the conveying mechanism 200 and return them to the conveying mechanism 200. The feeding mechanism 400 is disposed on the frame 100 and is used to feed bottle caps 800 onto the bottles 700 on the rotating mechanism 300. The straightening mechanism 500 is disposed on the frame 100 and located above the rotating mechanism 300 and is used to straighten the bottle caps 800 on the rotating mechanism 300. The tightening mechanism 600 is disposed on the frame 100 and located above the rotating mechanism 300 and is used to tighten the bottle caps 800 on the rotating mechanism 300.

[0030] During operation, bottles 700 are placed onto the conveying mechanism 200 through the inlet. The conveying mechanism 200 transports the bottles 700, which then move to the rotating mechanism 300. The rotating mechanism 300 rotates to move the bottles 700. When the bottles 700 reach the first processing position, the bottle caps 800 fall onto the bottles 700 at that position. The straightening mechanism 500 straightens the bottle caps 800 at the first processing position. The rotating mechanism 300 then moves the bottles 700 with the bottle caps 800 to the second processing position. The tightening mechanism 600 tightens the bottle caps 800 at the second processing position. The rotating mechanism 300 then moves the bottles 700 with the tightened bottle caps 800 onto the conveying mechanism 200, which then sends the bottles 700 with the tightened bottle caps 800 out of the outlet.

[0031] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 200 includes two side plates 210, a transmission assembly 220, two inlet straightening bars 230, and two outlet straightening bars 240. The two side plates 210 are disposed on the frame 100, and the transmission assembly 220 is disposed on the frame 100 and located between the two side plates 210. The transmission assembly 220 is used to convey the bottle body 700. One inlet straightening bar 230 and one outlet straightening bar 240 are movably disposed on one of the side plates 210, and the other inlet straightening bar 230 and the other outlet straightening bar 240 are movably disposed on the other side plate 210. The rotating mechanism 300 is disposed between one of the inlet straightening bars 230 and one of the outlet straightening bars 240. During operation, bottles 700 are placed one after another on the transmission assembly 220, which then conveys the bottles 700. At this time, the inlet straightening bar 230 and the outlet straightening bar 240 are positioned opposite each other, which helps to straighten the bottles 700.

[0032] In this embodiment, the transmission assembly 220 includes a first motor 221, a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a transmission belt 222. The first motor 221 is mounted on the frame 100, and its output shaft is connected to the drive wheel. Both the drive wheel and the driven wheel are rotatably mounted between the two side plates 210. The transmission belt 222 is fitted onto the drive wheel and the driven wheel. When the first motor 221 is started, it drives the drive wheel to rotate. The drive wheel, in conjunction with the driven wheel, drives the transmission belt 222 to transmit power. The bottle body 700 is placed on the transmission belt 222, thus achieving the transmission.

[0033] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 200 further includes several adjusting components 250, which are disposed on the side plate 210. The inlet straightening strip 230 and the outlet straightening strip 240 are detachably connected to the adjusting components 250. The adjusting components 250 are used to move the inlet straightening strip 230 and the outlet straightening strip 240, which are positioned opposite each other, closer or further apart, thereby adjusting the distance between the inlet straightening strip 230 and the outlet straightening strip 240 at the inlet and outlet, so as to adapt to bottles 700 of different diameters.

[0034] In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly 250 includes a support 251, a retainer 252, and a hand-tightening bolt 253. The support 251 is fixed to the side plate 210 and has a straight hole and a threaded hole. The straight hole communicates with the threaded hole. The retainer 252 is movably inserted into the hole 255 of the support 251 via a connecting shaft 254. The hand-tightening bolt 253 is inserted into the threaded hole and used to abut against the connecting shaft 254. The support 251 has a retaining groove, and the inlet straightening strip 230 or the outlet straightening strip 240 is engaged in the retaining groove. The connecting shaft 254 moves within the hole 255 to adjust the distance between the inlet straightening strip 230 and the outlet straightening strip 240. When in use, manually loosen the hand-tightening bolt 253. At this time, the card holder 252 can be moved to adjust the distance between the inlet straightening strip 230 and the outlet straightening strip 240 so that the distance between the inlet straightening strip 230 and the outlet straightening strip 240 is just suitable for the diameter of the bottle body 700 to be processed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 300 includes a second motor 310 and a lower rotating plate 320. The second motor 310 is mounted on the frame 100, and the output shaft of the second motor 310 is connected to the lower rotating plate 320. The second motor 310 is used to drive the lower rotating plate 320 to rotate. The lower rotating plate 320 is located between one of the inlet straightening bars 230 and one of the outlet straightening bars 240. The side of the lower rotating plate 320 is provided with a plurality of first receiving grooves for accommodating the bottle body 700 at even intervals. When the bottle body 700 is conveyed on the transmission belt 222 and approaches the lower rotating plate 320, the first receiving groove on the lower rotating plate 320 scrapes the bottle body 700 into it. The lower rotating plate 320 rotates to move the bottle body 700 to the first processing position. At the first processing position, the bottle cap 800 is placed at the bottle mouth and straightened. The lower rotating plate 320 rotates to move the bottle body 700 to the second processing position. At the second processing position, the bottle cap 800 is tightened. The lower rotating plate 320 rotates to move the bottle body 700 to the output mechanism.

[0036] To further explain, the first processing station is equipped with a first sensor and a second sensor. When the bottle body 700 moves to the first processing station, the first sensor senses the bottle body 700, and the feeding mechanism 400 releases a bottle cap 800. When the bottle cap 800 is released, the first sensor senses the bottle cap 800, and the straightening mechanism 500 straightens the bottle cap 800.

[0037] To further explain, the feeding mechanism 400 is an existing conventional vibratory feeder, the output end of which extends to the appropriate position of the bottle mouth of the bottle body 700 of the rotating mechanism 300, so that the bottle cap 800 can be released from the output end and fall to the bottle mouth.

[0038] It should be understood that the feeding mechanism 400 releasing the bottle cap 800, the straightening mechanism 500 straightening the bottle cap 800, and the tightening mechanism 600 tightening the bottle cap 800 are all actions completed instantaneously. During these actions, the motor of the rotating mechanism 300 does not stop working.

[0039] In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 300 further includes an upper rotating plate 330 and a plurality of connecting rods 340. The upper rotating plate 330 is connected above the lower rotating plate 320 via the connecting rods 340. The upper rotating plate 330 has a plurality of second receiving grooves evenly spaced on its side for accommodating bottle caps 800. When the bottle cap 800 is tightened onto the bottle body 700, the bottle cap 800 fits perfectly into the second receiving groove.

[0040] In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 300 further includes a fence 350, which is an arc-shaped structure. The fence 350 is connected to the frame 100 and partially surrounds the lower rotating plate 320. When the lower rotating plate 320 and the upper rotating plate 330 rotate to drive the bottle body 700 to rotate, the fence 350 serves to block the bottle body 700 and prevent the bottle body 700 from sliding out of the first receiving groove.

[0041] In this embodiment, the straightening mechanism 500 includes a first cylinder 510, an inverted funnel-shaped inner sleeve 520, and a first outer sleeve 530. The first cylinder 510 is mounted on the frame 100. The inverted funnel-shaped inner sleeve 520 and the first outer sleeve 530 are connected to the output shaft of the first cylinder 510, and the first outer sleeve 530 covers the inverted funnel-shaped inner sleeve 520. The first outer sleeve 530 has a notch 531 on the side near the feeding mechanism 400. When the bottle cap 800 is released from the feeding mechanism 400 and falls to the bottle mouth, the first cylinder 510 is activated, causing the inverted funnel-shaped inner sleeve 520 and the first outer sleeve 530 to descend. The descending inverted funnel-shaped inner sleeve 520 and the first outer sleeve 530 respectively cover the top and side of the bottle cap 800, effectively straightening the bottle cap 800 so that it is placed directly opposite the bottle mouth.

[0042] In this embodiment, the tightening mechanism 600 includes a second cylinder 610, a third motor 620, an end plate 630, a telescopic rod 640, a tightening cover plate 650, a spring 660, and a second outer sleeve 670. The second cylinder 610 is mounted on the frame 100. The third motor 620 is connected to the output shaft of the second cylinder 610. The end plate 630 is connected to the output shaft of the third motor 620. The tightening cover plate 650 is connected to the end plate 630 via the telescopic rod 640. The spring 660 is sleeved on the telescopic rod 640. The second outer sleeve 670 is connected to the output shaft of the third motor 620 and sleeves the tightening cover plate 650. When the bottle body 700 moves to the second processing position, the second cylinder 610 is activated to drive the third motor 620, end plate 630, telescopic rod 640, capping plate 650, spring 660, and second outer sleeve 670 to descend. When the capping plate 650 presses against the bottle cap 800 until the spring 660 retracts, the third motor 620 is activated to rotate the capping plate 650, thereby tightening the bottle cap 800.

[0043] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
