Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of bottle nozzle attaching machines, specifically relating to a dual-station bottle nozzle attaching machine. Background Technology
[0002] The process of precisely and securely attaching nozzles to the mouth of filled bottles using specialized nozzle-attaching equipment is called "nozzle attachment." Currently, most automated nozzle-attaching equipment is designed as a single station, meaning that in each work cycle, the equipment can only complete a series of actions such as feeding, centering, attaching, and unloading one bottle. This single-station working mode directly limits the production efficiency to the equipment's cycle time, and the theoretical maximum capacity increase potential is very limited. In order to meet capacity requirements, manufacturers are often forced to adopt two strategies: one is to reduce the overall line speed to match the nozzle-attaching process, but this undoubtedly leads to a waste of resources; the other is to purchase more production lines or add more single-station equipment, but this will significantly increase the factory space occupation, equipment procurement costs, and subsequent energy consumption and maintenance management costs.
[0003] In general, existing single-station bottle capping machines have low production efficiency and cannot match the pace of efficient production lines. Utility Model Content

[0024] This invention employs a dual-station parallel operation design, allowing simultaneous nozzle application to two bottles per work cycle. Compared to traditional single-station equipment, this significantly improves production efficiency and effectively matches the rhythm of a high-efficiency production line. The invention integrates a feeding assembly 5, a vibratory feeder 8, a conveying channel 11, a guide bar 12, and various detection and control components such as photoelectric sensors, fiber optics, pressure sensors, and encoders.

The invention is equipped with an auxiliary pusher 106 and real-time pressure monitoring to ensure stable pressing, precise positioning, and consistent verticality, effectively preventing bottle displacement or tipping and significantly improving the stability of nozzle quality.
[0025] Example 2
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5The illustrated dual-station bottle nozzle sealing machine includes a worktable 1, with a mounting frame 2 on the front top of the worktable 1. Multiple transmission rollers 4 are rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 2 via a sprocket assembly 3. A first drive unit 13 is located on the right side of the top of the worktable 1. The drive end of the first drive unit 13 is connected to the sprocket assembly 3. When the first drive unit 13 operates, it can drive the transmission rollers 4 to rotate via the sprocket assembly 3. Glue bottles are sequentially positioned between two adjacent transmission rollers 4, and the rotation of the transmission rollers 4 can drive the glue bottles to be fed, thus coordinating with the sealing of the nozzle.
[0027] From left to right, the mounting frame 2 consists of a feeding section 201 and a pressing nozzle section 202. The pressing nozzle section 202 is flush with the workbench 1, while the feeding section 201 extends downward at an angle from the left side of the pressing nozzle section 202. A feeding assembly 5 is located on the left side of the workbench 1. A guide plate 6 connects the feeding assembly 5 and the feeding section 201. The feeding assembly 5 is used to feed the glue bottles sequentially, and then they enter the feeding section 201 sequentially through the guide plate 6. The rotating conveyor roller 4 drives the glue bottles to move to the pressing nozzle section 202 to work in conjunction with the pressing sleeve.
[0028] The feeding assembly 5 specifically includes: a frame 501 symmetrically arranged front and rear, with a belt 502 rotatably connected between the frames 501. The belt 502 is inclined, with its inclination angle forming an acute angle of less than 90° with the ground. A feeding plate 503 is provided on the belt 502, which is also inclined and used to limit the feeding of the glue bottles to prevent them from rolling off. A feed plate 504 is installed on the lower left side of the frame 501, which corresponds to the output of the previous process line. It should be noted that the feed plate 504 in this embodiment... The design is height-adjustable to accommodate different receiving heights. A second drive unit 505 is installed on the rear frame 501. The drive end of the second drive unit 505 is connected to the belt 502. The operation of the second drive unit 505 drives the belt 502 to rotate. The rotation of the belt 502 drives the feeding plate 503 to continuously receive and transfer the glue bottles on the feeding plate 504 until the glue bottles are located on the left side of the guide plate 6. The guide plate 6 is in a left-high-right-low state, which drives the glue bottles to automatically slide to the right through the guide plate 6 to the feeding part 201 of the mounting frame 2, thus realizing the feeding of the glue bottles.
[0029] A discharge plate 7 extends from the top right side of the workbench 1. The discharge plate 7 is located to the right of the nozzle part 202. After the nozzle is pressed, the glue bottle continues to move to the right via the transfer roller 4 until it moves onto the discharge plate 7. The discharge plate 7 is designed to be higher on the left and lower on the right and then extends horizontally. Thus, the glue bottle can automatically roll to the right via the discharge plate 7 and be collected.
[0030] To achieve automatic feeding of the nozzles, a vibratory feeder 8 is symmetrically provided on the rear side of the top of the workbench 1. A discharge channel 9 is provided on the front side of the vibratory feeder 8. The operation of the vibratory feeder 8 realizes automatic feeding of the nozzles and drives the nozzles to automatically discharge through the discharge channel 9. It should be noted that, in addition to its own opening, the nozzle also has a round hole for pressing and fitting onto the neck of the glue bottle. When the vibratory feeder 8 operates, the round hole for pressing and fitting onto the neck of the glue bottle will first enter the discharge channel 9. Then, during the pressing and fitting process, the round hole can be directly pressed into the neck of the glue bottle, fixing the nozzle to the glue bottle.
[0031] A dual-station nozzle assembly 10 is provided on the front side of the workbench 1. The working range of the dual-station nozzle assembly 10 is the length of four glue bottles. Its dual stations are specifically located on the two outermost glue bottles. The dual-station nozzle assembly 10 is driven by a preset program to complete the nozzle pressing of two glue bottles in one operation. The top of the dual-station nozzle assembly 10 is symmetrically provided with material conveying channels 11, which are connected to the discharge channel 9. The material conveying channels 11 are arc-shaped, and there is a certain height difference between the discharge channel 9 and the dual-station nozzle assembly 10. Then, the nozzles on the discharge channel 9 can move downwards sequentially through the conveying channel 11 until they enter the dual-station nozzle assembly 10 to cooperate with the pressure sleeve. Furthermore, in order to avoid the impact on the operation of the pressure sleeve when the lower part of the conveying channel 11 is close to the dual-station nozzle assembly 10, a material blocking rod 12 is slidably provided at the lower part of the conveying channel 11. When the material blocking rod 12 senses the operation of the dual-station nozzle assembly 10, it extends to intercept the remaining nozzles. When the dual-station nozzle assembly 10 resets, it retracts to feed the nozzles, thus achieving efficient operation.
[0032] The dual-station nozzle assembly 10 includes: a front plate 101 located in front of the mounting frame 2, and a limiting plate 102 located behind the mounting frame 2. A nozzle mold 103 is symmetrically arranged on the top of the front plate 101. An extrusion groove 104 is formed on the front side of the nozzle mold 103, and an extrusion rod 105 is mounted on the nozzle mold 103. An auxiliary push block 106 is symmetrically arranged on the front side of the limiting plate 102, and the material conveying channel 11 is located above the nozzle mold 103, aligned with the extrusion groove 104. Furthermore, for the automated operation of the entire machine, some sensors (not shown in the figure) are also included, including but not limited to:
[0033] Photoelectric sensors are installed at the outlet of the feeding component 5, the inlet of the first guide plate 6, and the two stations of the nozzle part 202 to detect whether the bottle has reached the critical position and to control the start and stop of the belt 502 and the transmission roller 4, so as to achieve precise positioning and prevent the bottles from piling up or colliding.
[0034] Among them, the two installation positions of the nozzle part 202 need to be aligned with the bottle body or bottle bottom to accurately detect whether the bottle has completely entered the nozzle station and is in the correct position. Then, the dual-station nozzle assembly 10 is triggered to start working to ensure that the nozzle mold 103 can be accurately aligned with the bottle mouth.
[0035] An optical fiber sensor is installed at the end of the material conveying channel 11, near the extrusion trough 104, to detect whether a single nozzle has been conveyed to the pressing position through the vibratory feeder 8 and the discharge channel 9, thereby controlling the action of the material blocking bar 12 (lowering one to block the next), and feeding back to the control system of the vibratory feeder 8 to realize the material shortage alarm.
[0036] An encoder is also installed on the shaft of the first drive unit 13 or the transmission roller 4 to accurately measure the rotational speed and displacement of the transmission roller 4, realize synchronous control of the transmission, and cooperate with the servo / stepper motor to achieve precise positioning of the bottle, etc.
[0037] Furthermore, in actual operation, the conveyor roller 4, filled with bottles, is driven by the first drive unit 13 to transport two bottles to two nozzle pressing stations respectively. The positioning sensor detects that the bottles are in place and sends a signal to stop the sprocket assembly 3. The bottles are precisely fixed between the front plate 101 and the limiting plate 102. At the same time, the vibratory feeder 8 transports the nozzles to the end through the discharge channel 9 and the conveying channel 11. The sensor confirms that the nozzles have reached the outlet of the conveying channel 11 and are ready. After receiving the control system command, the baffle bar 12 retracts and releases one nozzle. Under the action of gravity, the nozzle falls precisely into the extrusion groove 104 in front of the nozzle pressing mold 103. Then the baffle bar 12 immediately extends to intercept the subsequent nozzles, preparing for the next operation. The extrusion rod 105 extends and moves towards the bottle. The end of the extrusion rod 105 pushes the bottle into place. The nozzle in the extrusion groove 104 is precisely fitted onto the bottle neck. During this process, the auxiliary pusher 106 on the rear limiting plate 102 plays a key role in counteracting and stabilizing. It holds the rear of the bottle body and forms a pair of balancing forces with the forward extrusion force to prevent the bottle from shifting or tipping during the pressing process, ensuring the verticality and stability of the nozzle. Throughout the pressing process, the pressure sensor integrated into the extrusion rod 105 drive system monitors the pressing force in real time. When the pressure value reaches the preset success standard range, the system determines that the nozzle pressing is successful, and the extrusion rod 105 immediately shortens and resets to the initial position. After the nozzle pressing is completed, the sprocket assembly 3 starts again, conveying the bottle with the nozzle fitted to the right to the discharge plate 7. After the sensor detects that the bottle has left, the system counts one finished product. At the same time, a new empty bottle and nozzle are sent into the work station to start the next work cycle.
