[0024] This utility model embodiment provides a multi-specification compatible automatic food capping device, such as... Figure 1As shown, the device includes a capping handle 1, a screw mechanism 2, a capping mold 3, a nameplate 4, and connecting wires 5. The capping handle 1 is the main structure of the automatic capping device. The capping handle 1 is cylindrical and contains numerous other components. Inside the capping handle 1 are a drive unit and a power supply unit. In this embodiment, the drive unit inside the capping handle 1 uses a DC brushed motor, which has the advantages of low cost and simple control. The power supply inside the capping handle 1 uses a rechargeable battery. The screw mechanism 2 is installed at the bottom of the capping handle 1 and can rotate freely under the drive of the internal drive unit. The screw mechanism 2 has a three-tiered design, and the capping mold is bolted to the bottom of the screw mechanism 2. 3. The capping mold 3 is an external mold connected to the bottom of the screw device 2. A cylindrical hole that can match the existing standard bottle cap size is opened at the bottom of the capping mold 3. After the bottle cap is placed in the capping mold 3 and locked with the locking screw on the side, it will rotate under the drive of the screw device 2 to complete the locking or opening of the bottle cap. The nameplate 4 is installed on the top side of the capping handle 1. A connection port for the connecting wire 5 is opened at the center of the top of the capping handle 1. The connecting wire 5 is inserted into this connection port, and the automatic capping device can be wired to use the connecting wire 5 for external power input, or it can be used to charge the internal power supply device. After the connecting wire 5 is unplugged, the power supply device inside the capping handle 1 provides power for wireless operation. The device of this utility model provides power to the entire automatic capping device and drives the rotation of other related structures through the capping handle, which is the main structure of the automatic capping device. The spiral device connected to the bottom of the capping handle rotates freely under the drive of the internal drive device of the capping handle, thereby driving the capping mold to rotate to realize the function of locking or opening the bottle cap. The capping mold installed at the bottom of the spiral device uses the contoured cylindrical hole at the bottom of the capping mold to cooperate with the locking screw to fix the bottle cap, and then drives the bottle cap to rotate to complete the action.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the capping handle 1 includes a handle body 11, a start switch 12, a forward / reverse switch 13, a handle sleeve 14, a lifting ring 15, a handle opening 16, and a heat dissipation hole 17. The handle body 11 is the main structure of the capping handle 1. The start switch 12 is located on the side of the handle body 11, slightly towards the top. The start switch 12 has an arc surface to facilitate easier and simpler operation when using the automatic capping device. The forward / reverse switch 13 is installed on the side of the handle body 11, slightly towards the top and opposite to the start switch 12. The forward / reverse switch 13 controls the forward and reverse rotation of the internal drive mechanism of the automatic capping device. When the forward / reverse switch 13 is closed, the automatic capping device is in the reverse state, and the automatic capping device is used to open the bottle cap. When the forward / reverse switch 13 is open, the automatic capping device... When the device is in the forward rotation state, the automatic capping device is used to lock the bottle cap. A handle sleeve 14 is connected to the bottom side of the handle body 11. The handle sleeve 14 is made of rubber material, which is highly elastic and can increase the contact friction force when using the automatic capping device, making it easier to grip the automatic capping device. A lifting ring 15 is installed on the top outer edge of the handle body 11 to increase the convenience of picking up and taking the automatic capping device. A pair of handle openings 16 are opened in the middle of the side of the handle body 11, which can be used to add a force point on the cylindrical side of the handle body 11 to assist in gripping the automatic capping device. Multiple heat dissipation holes 17 are opened in the middle of the side of the handle body 11, on the same side as the forward and reverse switch 13, to avoid the problem of excessive temperature of the internal drive device of the capping handle 1 due to the closed internal space of the automatic capping device under long-term use. The cap screw-on handle of this utility model, through the start switch and forward / reverse switch installed on opposite sides of the top side of the handle body, can control the normal opening and closing of the automatic cap screw-on device, and at the same time control whether the entire device is powered to ensure safety. The handle sleeve set on the bottom side of the handle body and the pair of handle openings in the middle of the side of the handle body help to grip the automatic cap screw-on device, thereby improving the operability of the automatic cap screw-on device.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the spiral device 2 includes a rotating outer shell 21, an upper spiral opening 22, and a lower spiral opening 23. The rotating outer shell 21 is the main structure of the spiral device 2. The rotating outer shell 21 is in the shape of three steps. The upper spiral opening 22 is located at the top of the side of the rotating outer shell 21, and the lower spiral opening 23 is located in the middle of the side of the rotating outer shell 21. The spiral device 2 can rotate freely with the internal drive device of the screw cap handle 1. The upper spiral opening 22 and the lower spiral opening 23 are used to provide greater friction force when installing the spiral device 2 so that the spiral device 2 is installed more firmly.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the capping mold 3 includes a capping base 31, a first cap opening 32, and a second cap opening 33. The capping mold 3 is installed at the bottom of the screw mechanism 2 and rotates with it. The capping base 31 is a circular disc located at the bottom of the capping mold 3. Multiple screw holes are provided on the side of the capping base 31, each containing a locking screw to lock the cap placed in the capping mold 3, preventing slippage during locking or opening. A first bottle cap opening 32 is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the tray 31. The first bottle cap opening 32 is a cylindrical hole that conforms to the size of a regular bottle cap. A second bottle cap opening 33 is provided at the bottom of the first bottle cap opening 32. The second bottle cap opening 33 is a cylindrical hole that conforms to the size of a regular bottle cap. The sides of the first bottle cap opening 32 and the second bottle cap opening 33 are non-smooth to prevent the bottle cap from slipping when placed inside. The bottom of the locking screw used on the side of the cap base 31 is inlaid with a rubber head to prevent damage to the surface of the bottle cap.

[0028] This utility model structure increases the surface friction of the screw device by opening an upper screw opening at the top of the side of the rotating outer shell and a lower screw opening in the middle of the side of the rotating outer shell, making the screw device more securely installed. By opening multiple screw holes on the side of the cap base and placing locking screws in them, the bottle cap is prevented from sliding during locking or opening. The first and second bottle cap openings are designed to prevent the bottle cap from slipping when placed inside.

[0029] Although the capping mold 3 of this disclosure is designed for the purpose of locking or opening bottle caps, this disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the capping mold 3 can be removed from the automatic capping device and a screw mold can be installed. The shape of the screw mold can be designed to be cross-shaped, slotted, or hexagonal according to the shape of the screw that needs to be locked. After being replaced with the screw mold, it can be used to lock or loosen the corresponding screw. The automatic capping device can select different molds to complete the specific actual work according to the actual function required.

[0030] As a preferred option, in some other embodiments, a gear control module can be added inside the screw cap handle 1 and a corresponding gear control button can be added to the handle body 11. The corresponding gear can be selected according to actual needs to control the rotation speed of the internal drive device of the screw cap handle 1, thereby avoiding damage to the bottle cap due to excessive rotation speed of the drive device during use.

[0031] In another embodiment of this utility model, a multi-specification compatible automatic food capping device is provided, comprising the following steps: Confirm that the handle sleeve 14 is undamaged, the lifting ring 15 is securely installed, and the heat dissipation hole 17 is not clogged with dust. Then, select to turn the forward or reverse switch 13 on or off according to the actual situation on site.

[0032] Insert the connecting cable 5 or use the wireless working mode, align the first bottle cap opening 32 with the bottle cap, insert the bottle cap into the first bottle cap opening 32, and tighten the locking screw on the side of the cap base 31.

[0033] The operator holds the handle body 11 and presses the start switch 12. After the start switch 12 is pressed, the screw device 2 starts to rotate, and the bottle cap then locks or opens.

[0034] Once you confirm that the bottle cap is locked or open, release the start switch 12, and the automatic capping device will immediately stop working.

[0035] By repeating the above process, the operator can complete the locking or unlocking of a large number of bottle caps.

[0036] In summary, this multi-size compatible automatic food capping device can automatically tighten and loosen caps of various sizes, simplifying the work and improving efficiency.

[0037] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
