Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage production technology, specifically a beverage production lid-making device. Background Technology

[0002] Bottle capping equipment is one of the key pieces of equipment on a beverage filling production line. Its main function is to accurately install bottle caps onto beverage bottles that have been filled with liquid to ensure the product's sealing and quality.

[0003] A patent application with application number CN202021618740.9 discloses a loading and unloading mechanism for a CNC machining center. The key technical features include a cap storage hopper and a cap loading frame. A lifting mechanism is fixedly installed on one side of the cap storage hopper, a cap loading mechanism is fixedly installed below the top of the cap loading frame, and a pre-capping mechanism is fixedly installed on the top of the cap loading frame. The beneficial effects of this invention are: the invention has a simple structure. By incorporating the pre-capping mechanism, the caps are more stable when placed on bottles for transport. After capping, the pre-capping mechanism securely connects the caps to the bottles, preventing them from falling off during transport, thus improving the machine's practicality and capping efficiency. This reduces the occurrence of low cap yield due to caps falling off during transport. Furthermore, the lifting mechanism and cap feeding mechanism enable the machine to automatically remove caps from the storage hopper, further improving capping efficiency.

[0004] In existing and above-mentioned capping equipment, the force generated during movement carries the bottle cap out of the cap feeding mechanism, which requires a high degree of precision from the equipment. Moreover, due to the lack of a recycling device, if the bottle cap misaligns, it will fall directly to the ground. Bottle caps contaminated with mud cannot be reused directly, resulting in waste. If the fallen bottle caps fall into the gaps of the conveyor belt, gears, or other equipment, they will also pose a safety hazard. Therefore, a beverage production capping equipment is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and solve at least one technical problem in the background art, this utility model proposes a beverage production lid-making device.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: the beverage production capping equipment of this utility model includes a conveying mechanism and a cap feeding track. A bottle body is provided on the surface of the conveying mechanism, and the cap feeding track is provided above the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism also includes baffles, which are mounted on the conveying mechanism. Baffle plates are fixedly connected to the surface of the baffles. There are two baffles, and a pair of baffles are designed symmetrically about the central axis of the conveying mechanism. There are also two baffle plates. The baffle is made of rubber, and the surface of the baffle has rounded corners; The baffle surface is provided with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the baffle height; A recycling box is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjustment mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism includes racks, at least two racks are provided, and each rack is fixedly connected to the surface of the baffle. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the surface of the baffle conveying mechanism. The fixing block is hollow, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the fixing block. A gear is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, and the gear meshes with the rack.

[0008] Preferably, a buffer pad is fixedly connected inside the fixing block, the buffer pad is in contact with the rack, the end of the rotating shaft passes through the fixing block for rotatable connection, and a fixing bolt is threaded on its surface.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the rotating shaft away from the fixing bolt is also rotatably connected through the fixing block, and a knob is fixedly connected to the end, with anti-slip texture on the surface of the knob.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the baffle is curved, a crossbar is fixedly connected to the surface of the baffle, and the surface of the crossbar is provided with a plurality of slots.

[0011] Preferably, the recycling box is designed to be inclined, and the recycling box is open on both sides. There are two recycling boxes, and the pair of recycling boxes are symmetrically distributed around the central axis of the conveying mechanism.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model are: 1. This utility model uses a baffle plate in conjunction with a baffle to collect fallen bottle caps through a recycling box, preventing the bottle caps from being contaminated by dirt and unable to be reused, thus avoiding waste. At the same time, the baffle plate design can also prevent bottle caps from falling into the gaps of the conveyor belt, gears, and other equipment, eliminating safety hazards. Finally, because the baffle plate is made of rubber, it will be directly squeezed and deformed when the bottle moves, without affecting the normal movement of the bottle. Moreover, the baffle plate can also play a guiding role, allowing the bottle to move more accurately under the cap feeding track, thereby reducing the error rate.

[0013] 2. This utility model uses a gear-engaged rack to rise or fall, thereby adjusting the height of the baffle and adapting it to bottles of different heights, thus greatly improving its practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example 1 Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a beverage production capping device includes a conveying mechanism 1 and a cap feeding track 7. A bottle body 5 is disposed on the surface of the conveying mechanism 1, and the cap feeding track 7 is disposed above the conveying mechanism 1. The conveying mechanism 1 also includes a baffle 2, which is set on the conveying mechanism 1. A baffle plate 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the baffle 2. There are two baffles 2, and a pair of baffles 2 are designed symmetrically about the central axis of the conveying mechanism 1. There are also two baffle plates 8. The baffle 8 is made of rubber, and the surface of the baffle 2 has rounded corners; The surface of the baffle 2 is provided with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height of the baffle 2; A recycling box 3 is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjustment mechanism; During operation, the bottle 5 to be capped is conveyed to the cap feeding track 7 via the conveying mechanism 1. The cap is then placed on the bottle 5 via the cap feeding track 7. If a cap falls, it will first land on the baffle 8, then on the surface of the baffle 2, and finally in the recycling box 3. The baffle 8, in conjunction with the baffle 2, collects the fallen cap through the recycling box 3, preventing it from being contaminated by dirt and unusable, thus avoiding waste. The design of the baffle 8 also prevents the cap from falling into gaps in the conveyor belt, gears 18, or other equipment, eliminating safety hazards. Finally, because the baffle 8 is made of rubber, it will be directly squeezed and deformed when the bottle 5 moves, without affecting its normal movement. Furthermore, the baffle 2 acts as a guide, allowing the bottle 5 to move more accurately to the cap feeding track 7, thereby reducing the error rate.

[0019] The adjustment mechanism includes racks 16, at least two racks 16 are provided, and all racks 16 are fixedly connected to the surface of baffle 2. A fixed block 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the conveying mechanism 1 of baffle 2. The fixed block 15 is hollow. A rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected inside the fixed block 15. A gear 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 21. The gear 18 meshes with the rack 16. A buffer pad 17 is fixedly connected inside the fixed block 15. The buffer pad 17 fits against the rack 16. The end of the rotating shaft 21 passes through the fixed block 15 and is rotatably connected. A fixing bolt 22 is threaded on the surface of the rotating shaft 21. The end of the rotating shaft 21 away from the fixing bolt 22 also passes through the fixed block 15 and is rotatably connected. A knob 19 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 21. The surface of the knob 19 is provided with anti-slip texture. During operation, for shorter bottles 5, knob 19 can be turned directly, which drives shaft 21 to rotate, and simultaneously drives gear 18 to rotate. At this time, rack 16, which is meshed with gear 18, will be forced to rise or fall, thereby adjusting the height of baffle 2. When the height of baffle 2 is adjusted to the appropriate position, fixing bolt 22 is turned to fix shaft 21, preventing it from shaking randomly during operation. By adapting to bottles 5 of different heights, the practicality is greatly improved. Buffer pad 17 can increase the feel when gear 18 rotates, and at the same time, it can increase friction, preventing it from sliding down before the fixing bolt 22 is tightened, thus improving the convenience of using the device.

[0020] The surface of the baffle 2 is curved, and a crossbar 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the baffle 2. The surface of the crossbar 12 is provided with several slots 13. During operation, the crossbar 12 can block the bottle caps that are rolling from the side. Because the surface of the crossbar 12 has slots 13, the blocked bottle caps will reverse, causing the flat surface to contact the baffle 2 and then slide into the recycling box 3. This prevents the bottle caps from flying out due to inertia, which would render the recycling box 3 ineffective.

[0021] The recycling box 3 is designed with an incline and has an open design on both sides. There are two recycling boxes 3, and a pair of recycling boxes 3 are symmetrically distributed around the central axis of the conveying mechanism 1. During operation, the inclined recycling box 3 can gather bottle caps, making it easier for staff to clean and pick them up.
