Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle cap processing technology, and specifically to a directional sorting device for bottle cap processing. Background Technology

[0002] When processing bottle caps, the freshly formed caps often have different postures, failing to achieve a uniform appearance. Subsequent processing requires the caps to be placed in the same posture for easier handling. Currently, some bottle cap sorting devices completely uniformly sort the caps, leaving some caps with inconsistent postures. These inconsistent caps cannot proceed smoothly to the next processing step, typically requiring significant manual time to correct their posture, thus impacting processing efficiency.

An inner pulley is movably connected to the side of the reset baffle away from the top material rod. The auxiliary telescopic structure includes the following structure: a rolling baffle, the rolling baffle having an inner side of the feeding track, and a rolling channel that allows the inner pulley to roll between the surface of the rolling baffle and the inner side of the feeding track. The rolling channel consists of a first channel and a second channel. The first channel extends along the side of the feeding track near the storage trough from the bottom of the storage trough to near the unloading channel. The width of the first channel is smaller than the width of the second channel. The inner pulley rolls along the surface of the rolling baffle within the rolling channel.

[0005] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the feeding trough is provided with an outer clamping plate and an inner clamping plate. The outer clamping plate and the inner clamping plate are respectively located on the outer side and the inner side of the feeding track. The surfaces of the outer clamping plate and the inner clamping plate are provided with through holes that match the top material rod. The top material rod extends outward after passing through the through holes of the inner clamping plate and the outer clamping plate in sequence on the inner side of the feeding track.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and related examples. The embodiments of this utility model are not limited to the following examples, and this utility model relates to relevant necessary components in this technical field, which should be regarded as well-known technology in this technical field and can be known and mastered by those skilled in this technical field.

[0018] A directional sorting device for bottle cap processing includes a feeding mechanism 1 and a storage trough 2. The feeding mechanism 1 includes the following structure: an outer shell 11, a feeding track 12 connected end to end inside the outer shell 11, and a plurality of unloading troughs 13 extending along the width direction of the feeding track 12 on the outer surface of the feeding track 12. The plurality of unloading troughs 13 are distributed along the length direction of the feeding track 12. The storage tank 2 is hollow inside and is fitted on one side of the outer shell 11. The top side of the storage tank 2 is provided with a feeding channel 6 that matches the feeding tank 13. One side of the feeding track 12 is located inside the storage tank 2. The feeding track 12 extends from inside the storage tank 2 to above the storage tank 2. One side of the feeding track 12 is provided with a drive mechanism 3 that makes the feeding track 12 rotate. The feeding track 12 moves upward towards the side near the storage tank 2. The inner side of the feeding track 12 is provided with a number of top material rods 4 that pass through the feeding track 12 and extend outward. The number of top material rods 4 are respectively located inside each feeding trough 13. The inner side of the feeding track 12 is provided with an auxiliary telescopic structure 5 that makes the top material rods 4 reciprocate along their own extension direction.

[0019] This utility model discloses a device for orienting bottle caps, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The storage trough 2 is mainly used to accommodate the processed bottle caps. The openings of the bottle caps in the storage trough 2 are not uniform. The feeding mechanism 1 can convey the bottle caps in the storage trough 2 upwards while simultaneously aligning the bottle caps to a uniform orientation. Specifically, the drive mechanism 3 drives the feeding track 12 to rotate. The feeding track 12 moves upwards on the side closer to the storage trough 2, and downwards on the side farther from the storage trough 2. This causes the feeding track 12, which is connected end to end, to circulate within the outer casing 11. Some of the bottle caps in the storage trough 2 will enter the unloading groove 13 on the surface of the moving feeding track 12. During the upward movement of the feeding track 12, the top material... Rod 4 restricts the posture of bottle caps in the feeding trough 13. Only bottle caps with their openings facing the feeding trough 13 and fitted onto the end of the top rod 4 can remain inside the feeding trough 13. Bottle caps with other postures will fall back into the storage trough 2. When any feeding trough 13 rises to near the feeding channel 6, the top rod 4 will retract into the feeding conveyor 12. At this time, bottle caps with their openings facing the feeding trough 13 can roll along the feeding trough 13 into the feeding channel 6, thus keeping the bottle caps entering the feeding channel 6 in a consistent posture. The end of the feeding channel 6 extends into the next processing step, allowing the bottle caps to be processed in the next step with the same posture. Furthermore, the feeding track 12 extends from the bottom of the storage tank 2 to the top of the outer shell 11 on the side near the storage tank 2. The feeding track 12 on this side stirs the bottle caps at the bottom of the storage tank 2 and causes the bottle caps to enter the discharge trough 13. The portion of the feeding track 12 located on the side wall of the storage tank 2 extends upward, thereby lifting the bottle caps in the discharge trough 13 during movement. The feeding track 12 on the side away from the storage tank 2 extends from the top of the outer shell 11 to the bottom of the outer shell 11. This structure allows the feeding track 12 to be connected end to end and to move in a cycle. It should be noted that, in order to keep the bottle caps in the feeding trough 13 in a consistent posture, the top rod 4 matching the feeding trough 13 needs to extend into the feeding trough 13 before the feeding trough 13 enters the storage trough 2, until the feeding trough 13 rises close to the feeding channel 6. To achieve the above operation, the present invention adopts the following structure: Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 The top material rod 4 is provided with a reset baffle 41 at the end of the inner side of the feeding track 12. A reset compression spring 42 is provided between the reset baffle 41 and the feeding track 12 and is sleeved on the surface of the top material rod 4. An inner pulley 43 is movably connected to the side of the reset baffle 41 away from the top material rod 4. The auxiliary telescopic structure 5 includes the following structure: a rolling baffle 51, which is located on the inner side of the feeding track 12. A rolling channel is formed between the surface of the rolling baffle 51 and the inner side of the feeding track 12, allowing the inner pulley 43 to roll. The rolling channel is composed of a first channel 52 and a second channel 53. The first channel 52 extends from the bottom of the storage trough 2 to the side of the feeding track 12 near the material storage trough 2 and is closer to the unloading channel 6. The width of the first channel 52 is smaller than the width of the second channel 53. The inner pulley 43 rolls along the surface of the rolling baffle 51 in the rolling channel. With the above structure, the feeding track 12 will drive the top rod 4 to rotate synchronously during the movement. Under the action of the return spring 42, the inner pulley 43 at the bottom of the top rod 4 will always be in contact with the surface of the rolling baffle 51. During the movement of the top rod 4 with the feeding track 12, it will roll along the surface of the rolling baffle 51. When the inner pulley 43 rolls in the narrow first channel 52, the distance between the rolling baffle 51 and the feeding track 12 in the first channel 52 is close. The top of the top rod 4 can extend out of the surface of the feeding track 12 and enter the inside of the discharge trough 13. The path of the first channel 52 and the feeding track 12 lifting the bottle cap through the discharge trough 13 is matched, so that the bottle cap can only stay in the discharge trough 13 with the opening facing the discharge trough 13 and fitted on the top of the top rod 4 during the lifting process. When the inner pulley 43 leaves the first channel 52 and enters the second channel 53, because the distance between the rolling baffle 51 and the feeding conveyor 12 in the second channel 53 is relatively far, the top rod 4 will retract into the feeding conveyor 12 under the action of the return spring 42, so that the inner pulley 43 at its bottom keeps in contact with the surface of the rolling baffle 51. Since the top rod 4 retracts into the feeding conveyor 12, the bottle caps in the discharge trough 13 will not be stuck by the top rod 4 and can roll along the discharge trough 13 and enter the discharge channel 6, so that only the bottle caps with their openings facing the inside of the discharge trough 13 can enter the discharge channel 6.

[0020] As one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 The feeding trough 13 is provided with an outer clamping plate 14 and an inner clamping plate 15. The outer clamping plate 14 and the inner clamping plate 15 are respectively located on the outer and inner sides of the feeding track 12. The surfaces of the outer clamping plate 14 and the inner clamping plate 15 are provided with through holes that match the top material rod 4. The top material rod 4 extends outward after passing through the through holes of the inner clamping plate 15 and the outer clamping plate 14 in sequence on the inner side of the feeding track 12. The feeding track 12 is preferably made of a material with a certain elasticity, such as synthetic rubber. The outer clamping plate 14 and the inner clamping plate 15 are used to clamp and fix the position where the top material rod 4 is set. The outer clamping plate 14 and the inner clamping plate 15 both constrain the top material rod 4 on the side, forming two vertically distributed constraint points on the side of the top material rod 4 to prevent the lateral force generated by the feeding track 12 on the top material rod 4 during the movement of the top material rod 4 from swinging. Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 5 The adjacent outer clamping plate 14 and inner clamping plate 15 are movably connected to rotating pulleys 16 at both ends of the feeding track 12 in the width direction. The outer shell 11 is provided with a rotating groove 17 that matches the rotating pulleys 16. The path of the rotating groove 17 extends in accordance with the path of the feeding track 12. The drive mechanism 3 includes the following structure: a drive chain 31, which is movably connected to the side of all rotating pulleys 16 located on the same side of the feeding track 12 in the width direction. A matching drive sprocket 32 ​​is provided on the inner side of the drive chain 31. A drive motor 33 is provided on one side of the drive sprocket 32 ​​to rotate the drive sprocket 32. The ends of the outer clamping plate 14 and the inner clamping plate 15 are movably connected to the rotating pulley 16 via shafts. One side of the rotating pulley 16 is movably connected to the drive chain 31 via shafts. The rotating pulley 16 slides inside the rotating groove 17, and the path of the rotating groove 17 is matched with the path of the feeding track 12 in cyclic movement. When the drive motor 33 runs and causes the drive sprocket 32 ​​to rotate, the drive sprocket 32 ​​will drive the drive chain 31 in cyclic movement. The drive chain 31 will move with the rotating pulley 16 through the rotating groove 17, thereby making the feeding track 12 stably perform cyclic movement.

[0021] As one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model, each feeding trough 13 is provided with a plurality of top rods 4, which are distributed along the width direction of the feeding conveyor 12. The arrangement of a plurality of top rods 4 in a feeding trough 13 allows the feeding trough 13 to accommodate a plurality of bottle caps, improving the efficiency of the feeding conveyor 12 in lifting the bottle caps. When the feeding trough 13 is located inside the storage trough 2, bottle caps of any orientation can enter the feeding trough 13, except for bottle caps with their openings facing the feeding trough 13 and fitted onto the top of the top rods 4, for example, bottle caps with their openings facing downwards. Bottle caps outside the feed trough 13, whose side away from the opening is held in place by the top rod 4, can only stay near the edge of the opening of the feed trough 13. During the lifting process of the feeding conveyor 12, the side of the feed trough 13 cannot support the bottle cap well, causing the bottle cap to fall downwards. For example, a bottle cap whose opening faces the width direction of the feeding conveyor 12 enters the feed trough 13 through the side, but the depth of the feed trough 13 is less than the radius of the bottle cap. During the lifting process of the feeding conveyor 12, the bottle cap rolls along the inner wall of the feed trough 13 through the side and falls into the storage trough 2.

[0022] As one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model, the feeding trough 13 extends downward at an inclination from one end away from the feeding channel 6 to the other end near the feeding channel 6. With this structure, during the lifting process of the feeding conveyor 12, the bottle caps in the feeding trough 13 can roll towards the feeding channel 6 through the inclination of the feeding trough 13, so that the bottle caps in the feeding trough 13 can smoothly enter the interior of the feeding channel 6.

[0023] In summary, this utility model discloses a device for orienting bottle caps. A cyclically moving feeding conveyor 12 transports and orients bottle caps in the storage trough 2. The bottle caps enter the discharge trough 13 on the surface of the feeding conveyor 12. During the lifting process of the feeding conveyor 12, only bottle caps with their openings facing the discharge trough 13 and fitted onto the end of the top rod 4 can remain inside the discharge trough 13. After the bottle caps are lifted, the top rod 4 retracts into the feeding conveyor 12, causing the bottle caps with uniform orientation inside the discharge trough 13 to roll into the discharge channel 6, thereby achieving orienting of the bottle caps. This eliminates the need for manual sorting of the bottle caps, improving the efficiency of bottle cap processing.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
