[0013] 1. The liquid bottle and can clamping and capping device provided by this utility model improves the structural design of traditional bottle and can openers by incorporating a clamping mechanism, a knob-type cap opening mechanism, and a pull-ring cap opening mechanism, thus bringing different types of bottle caps into the scope of applicability. The opener includes a frame, a clamping mechanism, a knob-type cap opening mechanism, and a pull-ring cap opening mechanism. The clamping mechanism uses a stepper motor to drive a lead screw to rotate and open the jaws to accommodate bottles of different diameters and provide a stable clamping force. The knob-type cap opening mechanism uses a rubber ring to adapt to different cap diameters and provides a continuous and stable torque to open the knob-type cap. The pull-ring cap opening mechanism uses a servo motor to continuously output power to the bottle opener frame for opening pull-ring caps.

[0014] 2. The liquid bottle gripper and cap opener provided by this utility model, through a reasonably designed gripping mechanism, can adjust the clamping force according to the size and shape of the bottle or can, clamping and fixing the bottle or can in a certain position. The gripper jaws have a certain arc-shaped concave shape, which is more conducive to adapting to bottles and cans of different sizes. The knob-type cap opening structure consists of two rotating devices, and the rotating parts are made of soft rubber, which is conducive to adapting to caps of different sizes and provides sufficient friction to open the cap. The pull-ring type cap opening structure consists of a rotatable connecting rod with tiny grooves, which is more conducive to locking the latch of the can and making it easier to open. This increases the functional versatility of the invention and promotes the development of multi-device integration. The overall structure is compact, easy to use, and has multiple functions. It can also be used in conjunction with infrared scanners, robotic arms, etc., and is suitable for various application scenarios. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0016] Figure 1 The liquid bottle gripper and cap opener provided in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the liquid bottle gripper and cap opener includes: a cap opener frame 1, on which a gripping structure 2, a knob-type cap opening mechanism 3, and a pull-ring type cap opening mechanism 4 are provided. The clamping mechanism 2 is used to clamp the bottle body that can be opened and to position the bottle cap. The knob-type bottle cap mechanism 3 and the pull-ring-type bottle cap mechanism 4 are used to open different bottle caps.

[0017] The clamping mechanism is used to clamp the bottle body and position the bottle cap. The opening knob-type bottle cap mechanism and the opening pull ring-type bottle cap mechanism are used to open different types of bottle caps. In this embodiment, the opening frame 1 includes a base 11 and a flange 12. The flange 12 is used to fix the stepper motor 21. The base 11 is connected to the first rib 31 and the second rib 41. A round hole is opened in the middle of the base 11. The flange 12 is connected to the base 11 by locking screws to enhance structural stability and facilitate installation on the robotic arm or easy gripping by the user. In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a stepper motor 21, a lead screw 22, a lead screw bearing 23, a lead screw sleeve 24, a gripper 25, a roller 26, a roller sleeve 27, and a spring 28. The stepper motor 21 is fixed between the flange 12 and the base 11. The lead screw 22 has a rectangular end and a cylindrical end. The cylindrical end is threaded and connected to the lead screw sleeve 24 by the thread. The rectangular end has a rectangular hole in the middle, which is connected to the rectangular end of the lead screw bearing 23. The lead screw bearing 23 has a rectangular end and a cylindrical end. The cylindrical end is connected to the circular hole in the middle of the base 11. The lead screw sleeve 24 has a slide rail 241 around its perimeter. The slide rail 241 cooperates with the roller 26.

[0018] In this embodiment, the gripper 25 has a first slot 251 at its top, which mates with the roller sleeve 27. The gripper 25 is fixed in position by a rib plate under the base 11. One end of the spring 28 is connected to a bolt fixing the gripper 25, and the other end is connected to a bolt passing through the rib plate. The gripper 25 can be tightened by adjusting the position of the spring 28. The gripper has threaded holes of different heights on its side for adjusting the gripper length and facilitating gripper replacement. It can be adapted to clamp bottles of different diameters using an elastic clamp.

[0019] In this embodiment, the knob-type bottle cap opening mechanism 3 includes a first rib 31, a motor 32, a fixing plate 33, and a rubber ring 34. The motor 32 is fixed on the first rib 31, and its bottom is connected to the rubber ring 34 through gear transmission. The rubber ring 34 opens the bottle cap by rotating it. The rib or rubber ring can be replaced according to the diameter of the bottle cap. The rubber ring is made of soft rubber, which helps to provide friction. At the same time, soft rubber has a certain deformation ability, which is conducive to adapting to bottle caps of different sizes.

[0020] In this embodiment, the pull-ring bottle cap opening mechanism 4 includes a second rib plate 41, a servo motor 42, a servo motor arm 43, a servo motor housing 44, and a cap opening frame 45. The servo motor 43 is fixed in the middle of the second rib plate 41. The right side of the servo motor is connected to the servo motor arm 43. The servo motor arm 43 is connected to the cap opening frame 45. The cap opening frame 45 has a second slot 451 at its end, which is used to clamp the pull ring. The pull ring is opened by rotating the cap opening frame 45. The cap opening frame and the servo motor arm are connected by multiple bolts to improve the clamping effect and prevent the connection between the servo motor arm and the cap opening frame from breaking.

[0021] When opening the bottle cap using the knob-type bottle cap mechanism 3, it is only necessary to ensure that the rubber ring 34 can make tight contact with the bottle cap. If not, the stepper motor 21 drives the lead screw sleeve 24 to rotate so that the gripper 25 opens, ensuring that the rubber ring 34 can make tight contact with the bottle cap. Then, start the motor 32 to unscrew the bottle cap.

[0022] When opening the bottle cap using the pull-ring bottle cap mechanism 4, first start the stepper motor 21 to open the gripper 25 to the same width as the bottle body, then clamp the bottle body with the gripper 25, and then start the servo motor 42 to drive the cap opening frame 45 to rotate and insert it under the pull ring, so that the pull ring is engaged in the second slot 451 on the cap opening frame. The pull-ring bottle cap can be opened by rotating the servo motor 42.

[0023] This device can be installed on other robotic arms according to actual usage needs, thus making it widely applicable to different work scenarios and bottle opening needs for different types of cans or bottles.

[0024] The base 11 in the opening device frame 1 is connected to the first rib 31 of the opening knob-type bottle cap mechanism. The torque can be adjusted by adding a rib and a stepper motor.

[0025] Install the stepper motor 21 between the flange 12 and the base 1, and install the lead screw bearing 22 and the lead screw 22. Then screw the lead screw sleeve into the lead screw 22. Next, install the roller 26, and mate the first slot 251 with the roller sleeve 27. Sleeve one end of the spring 28 onto the bolt fixing the jaw 25, so that it is located between the jaw 25 and the base rib, and install the other end of the spring 28 onto the bolt passing through the rib.

[0026] For the installation of the pull-ring bottle cap opening mechanism 4, the servo motor 42 is installed in the middle of the second rib plate 41, and then the servo motor arm 43 is connected to the cap opening frame 45 to ensure a firm and stable installation, thus completing the assembly of the multi-functional bottle opener.
