Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic packaging machinery technology, and in particular to an intelligent automatic cap sorter. Background Technology

[0002] In the production processes of food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and daily chemical industries, the tight sealing of bottle caps is a crucial step in ensuring product quality and shelf life. An effective seal not only prevents leakage and contamination of the contents but also protects the product from external environmental influences. Therefore, stringent requirements are placed on the precision, efficiency, and stability of the capping process.

[0003] Traditional cap-screwing operations rely heavily on manual labor, with bottle caps tightened manually to achieve a seal. However, manual cap-screwing has significant drawbacks: firstly, manual operation is inefficient and cannot meet the high-speed demands of modern production lines, thus hindering the overall production pace; secondly, uneven tightening force can lead to caps being too loose or too tight. Loose caps can cause seal failure, while overtightening can damage the cap or bottle, severely impacting product yield. Furthermore, repetitive operations over long periods can cause worker fatigue, further exacerbating the instability of cap-screwing quality. Simultaneously, labor costs increase significantly with production scale. Therefore, developing an intelligent automatic cap-screwing device that offers high precision, flexible operation, and strong stability is crucial for addressing the current pain points in the cap-screwing process and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0045] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an intelligent automatic bottle cap feeder includes a base 1; a conveying module 2, which is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1 and is used to convey bottle caps; a bracket 3, which is located on one side of the conveying module 2 and is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1; a fixing module 4, which is provided in multiples and is symmetrically fixedly installed on the side of the bracket 3 away from the conveying module 2 and is used to fix the bottle body; and a bottle cap feeding module 5, which is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket 3 and is used to reinforce the bottle caps.

[0048] The cover module 5 includes a second motor 51, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the crossbeam 32. The shaft of the second motor 51 extends through the first straight hole of the crossbeam 32 to the bottom of the crossbeam 32. A mounting plate 52 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the crossbeam 32, and a clearance hole is provided on the top of the mounting plate 52. A turntable 53 is located at the bottom of the mounting plate 52. The shaft of the second motor 51 passes through the clearance hole and is fixedly mounted to the turntable 53. The second motor 51 drives the turntable 53 to rotate. The top of the turntable 53 has four through-holes, evenly distributed axially. The distance from one side of each hole to the center of the turntable 53 is different from the distance from the other side of each hole to the center of the turntable 53. A limiting block 54 is used for limiting... Four blocks 54 are provided, and four limiting blocks 54 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 52. The bottom end of the limiting block 54 has a mounting groove. Four sliding blocks 55 are provided, and four sliding blocks 55 are slidably installed in the mounting groove of the limiting block 54. One end of the first round rod is fixedly installed at the top of each sliding block 55, and the other end of the first round rod passes through the waist-shaped hole of the turntable 53. Four third motors 56 are provided, and four third motors 56 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding blocks 55 respectively. Four second round rods 57 are provided, and one end of each second round rod 57 is fixedly installed to the rotating shaft of the third motor 56. Four discs 58 are provided, and four discs 58 are fixedly installed at the other end of the second round rods 57.

[0049] The axis of the second round rod 57 and the axis of the disk 58 are collinear. The bottom end of the mounting groove of the limiting block 54 is provided with an integrally formed boss that is close to each other. The boss is used to support the sliding block 55. The diameter of the disk 58 is larger than the diameter of the second round rod 57.

[0050] The fixing module 4 includes a fixing block 41 located on the side of the support column 31 that is close to each other; and a cylinder 42 fixedly installed on the side of the support column 31 that is far from each other. The fixing block 41 and the movable end of the cylinder 42 are fixedly installed together. The cylinder 42 is used to drive the fixing block 41 to move. An elastic pad is provided on the side of the fixing block 41 that is close to each other.

[0051] Specific implementation process: The operator places the bottle steadily on top of the conveyor belt 21. The anti-slip texture on the surface of the conveyor belt 21 fits tightly against the bottom of the bottle, and the guide plates on both sides guide the bottle to maintain a centered position. Then, the bottle cap is gently placed on top of the bottle, without deliberately tightening it, relying solely on the weight of the bottle cap for initial alignment. After starting the first motor 22, power is transmitted to the conveyor belt 21 through the transmission mechanism, causing it to operate smoothly. The bottle and bottle cap move synchronously with the conveyor belt 21. When the first motor 22 is stopped, the bottle and bottle cap stop precisely below the cap sorting station.

[0052] When cylinder 42 is activated, the piston rod of cylinder 42 pushes the fixing block 41 to move towards each other. After the elastic pad on the inner side of the fixing block 41 comes into contact with the outer wall of the bottle, the bottle is fixed by uniform clamping force to prevent displacement when the cap is removed. This clamping method can adapt to bottles of different diameters. Flexible fixing can be achieved by adjusting the pressure of cylinder 42 to prevent the bottle from being deformed by pressure.

[0053] Then, the second motor 51 starts, driving the turntable 53 to rotate. Due to the eccentric design of the oblong hole on the turntable 53, the distance between the two ends of the hole and the center of the turntable 53 differs. When the turntable 53 rotates, the oblong hole drives the sliding block 55 to move radially along the track of the limiting block 54 through the first round rod. The four sliding blocks 55 move closer synchronously, causing the bottom disc 58 to gradually fit against the outer circumference of the bottle cap, forming a ring-like fixation, ensuring that the bottle cap does not slip or shift during the tightening process. Subsequently, the third motor 56 starts, and the power is transmitted to the disc 58 through the second round rod 57, causing the disc 58 to rotate. The friction texture of the disc 58 contacts the surface of the bottle cap, driving the bottle cap to rotate through friction, achieving thread engagement with the bottle body.

[0054] After the bottle caps are sorted, the cylinder 42 drives the fixing block 41 to move in the opposite direction, releasing the clamp on the bottle body; the second motor 51 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the turntable 53 to reset, and the sliding block 55 drives the disc 58 away from the bottle caps; finally, the first motor 22 restarts, and the conveyor belt 21 transports the processed bottle body and bottle cap to the next stage.

[0055] In the embodiments disclosed in this utility model, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; "linking" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments disclosed in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0056] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
