Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of capping technology, and in particular to an ink cartridge capping system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, ink is a liquid, and during storage and transportation, it will experience shaking, bumps, and even pressure changes caused by temperature differences. If the ink cartridge lid is not tightened, it can easily loosen under internal pressure, leading to ink leakage. Traditional ink cartridge sealing mainly relies on manual tightening or the application of force with simple tools.

[0003] The existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following drawbacks: manually pressing the ink cartridge caps one by one is slow and inefficient, and cannot be matched with automatic filling lines, thus becoming a production bottleneck. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an ink cartridge capping system for automatically pressing the ink cartridge cap.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An ink cartridge capping system includes an operating table, a conveyor belt disposed within the operating table, a capping box suspended at an incline above the conveyor belt, and a rotating roller rotatably disposed within the capping box. The capping box has an opening facing the conveyor belt, and the axis of the rotating roller is always perpendicular to the direction of movement of the conveyor belt and is located above the conveyor belt. The peripheral wall of the rotating roller protrudes from the surface of the opening of the capping box.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up an operating table, a conveyor belt, a capping box, and a rotating roller, with the axis of the rotating roller perpendicular to the direction of movement of the conveyor belt and its peripheral wall protruding from the opening surface of the capping box, the ink cartridge can be transported by the conveyor belt, and pressure can be applied to the ink cartridge cap by the rotating roller, thereby realizing automatic pressing of the ink cartridge cap, improving capping efficiency, and adapting to the production rhythm of the automatic filling line.

[0008] Optionally, multiple rotating rollers are provided, and the multiple rotating rollers are evenly distributed at intervals along the length of the capping box. The multiple rotating rollers are sequentially close to the conveyor belt from the feeding end to the unloading end.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting multiple rotating rollers that are evenly spaced along the length of the capping box, and by having these multiple rotating rollers approach the conveyor belt sequentially from the loading end to the unloading end, the ink cartridge can be gradually squeezed by the rotating rollers during the conveying process, achieving progressive pressing and ensuring uniform and reliable capping.

[0010] Optionally, the rotating roller is fitted with a layer of rigid sponge on its peripheral wall.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a rigid sponge, a cushioning effect can be provided during the capping process, reducing hard contact between the rotating roller and the ink cartridge cap, and reducing the possibility of damage to the ink cartridge cap.

[0012] Optionally, the operating table surface is provided with two mounting brackets at intervals. The mounting brackets are U-shaped and consist of two spaced vertical rods and a horizontal rod located between the vertical rods and at the ends. The ends of the vertical rods away from the horizontal rods are fixed to the operating table surface. The vertical rods are located on both sides of the conveyor belt. The capping box is located between the two vertical rods. Two mounting columns are slidably arranged at intervals inside the horizontal rod. The mounting columns slide through the ends of the horizontal rods along their length. The mounting columns are spaced apart from the vertical rods. The ends of the mounting columns near the capping box are rotatably connected to the capping box through connecting plates and connectors.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a mounting frame, mounting columns, connecting plates, and connectors, the vertical rods of the mounting frame are fixed to the operating table and located on both sides of the conveyor belt. The mounting columns are rotatably connected to the connectors and the capping box through the connecting plates, which can provide stable installation support for the capping box. At the same time, the sliding characteristics of the mounting columns provide a basis for adjusting the position of the capping box, ensuring that the capping box remains stable during operation.

[0014] Optionally, an adjusting screw is rotatably provided between the two mounting rods inside the crossbar. A limiting plate is provided at the end of the mounting column away from the pressure box. The limiting plate and the connecting plate connect the two mounting columns. The adjusting screw passes through the crossbar and is threadedly connected to the crossbar. The axis of the adjusting screw is parallel to the axis of the mounting column. The upper end of the adjusting screw is rotatably provided inside the limiting plate, and the upper end of the adjusting screw protrudes from the upper plate surface of the limiting plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting an adjusting screw and a limiting plate, the adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the crossbar and its upper end is rotatably set in the limiting plate. The vertical movement of the mounting column can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw, thereby changing the distance between the capping box and the conveyor belt to adapt to ink cartridges of different heights.

[0016] Optionally, the connector is U-shaped and consists of a horizontal plate and vertical plates opposite each other on the same side of the horizontal plate. The connector is fitted onto the bottom of the outer wall of the cover box. A fixing post is provided on the end face of the vertical plate near the horizontal plate. The fixing post is fixed to the outer wall of the cover box. An arc-shaped hole is provided on the end face of the vertical plate away from the horizontal plate. The arc-shaped hole connects the two sides of the vertical plate. The center of the arc-shaped hole coincides with the axis of the fixing post. A sliding post is provided in the arc-shaped hole. The peripheral wall of the sliding post slides against the wall of the arc-shaped hole.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up connectors, fixed columns, arc-shaped holes and sliding columns, the pressure box can rotate around the fixed column as the axis. At the same time, the cooperation between the arc-shaped hole and the sliding column can strengthen the connection structure, not interfere with the rotation adjustment of the pressure box, and enhance the stability of the pressure box when adjusting the angle.

[0018] Optionally, a baffle is provided on one side of the conveyor belt, the baffle being located inside the mounting frame and spaced apart from the end of the mounting frame.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, and using a baffle that is located inside the mounting frame and spaced apart from the end of the mounting frame, the movement path of the ink cartridge on the conveyor belt can be restricted, preventing the ink cartridge from deviating or falling off during transportation.

[0020] Optionally, the baffle is detachably connected to the operating table via a connecting post and a mounting base. The mounting base consists of two L-shaped pieces arranged opposite each other. The short side of the L-shaped pieces is fixed to the operating table by bolts, and the outer surfaces of the long sides of the L-shaped pieces are arranged opposite each other, and both have recessed notches. The recessed notches of the two L-shaped pieces form the mounting holes of the mounting base. The connecting post is set on the plate surface of the baffle away from the conveyor belt. The connecting post is adapted to the mounting holes of the mounting base and is slidably inserted into the mounting base.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a connecting column and a mounting base, the mounting base consists of two L-shaped parts arranged opposite each other. The short side of the L-shaped parts is fixed to the operating table, and the long side notch forms a mounting hole. The connecting column is slidably inserted into the mounting hole, which can facilitate the disassembly and installation of the baffle. At the same time, the position of the baffle can be adjusted by sliding the connecting column to adapt to the ink cartridge conveying limit requirements of different sizes.

[0022] Optionally, a fixing nut is provided between the crossbar and the limiting plate. The fixing nut is sleeved on the peripheral wall of the adjusting screw and is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a fixing nut, which is sleeved on the peripheral wall of the adjusting screw and threadedly connected to the adjusting screw, the position of the adjusting screw can be locked, preventing the adjusting screw from loosening due to vibration or external force, and maintaining the stability of the height and angle of the pressure box.

[0024] In summary, this application has the following technical effects:

[0025] 1. By setting up an operating table, conveyor belt, capping box and rotating roller, the axis of the rotating roller is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the conveyor belt and the peripheral wall protrudes from the opening surface of the capping box. The conveyor belt can be used to transport ink cartridges, and the rotating roller can apply pressure to the ink cartridge caps to realize automatic pressing of ink cartridge caps, improve capping efficiency and adapt to the production rhythm of automatic filling line.

[0026] 2. By setting an adjusting screw and a limiting plate, the adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the crossbar and its upper end is rotatably set in the limiting plate. The vertical movement of the mounting column can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw, thereby changing the distance between the capping box and the conveyor belt to adapt to ink cartridges of different heights.

[0027] 3. By setting up a baffle, which is located inside the mounting frame and spaced apart from the end of the mounting frame, the movement path of the ink cartridge on the conveyor belt can be restricted, preventing the ink cartridge from deviating or falling off during transportation.

[0031] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This application discloses an ink cartridge capping system, referring to... Figure 1 The capping system includes an operating table 1 and a capping assembly 2 mounted on the operating table 1. The operating table 1 can convey ink cartridges, and the capping assembly 2 can press the ink cartridge caps together to improve capping efficiency.

[0033] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 A conveyor belt 11 is installed inside the operating table 1. The surface of the conveyor belt 11 is flush with the surface of the operating table 1, and the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 11 is parallel to the length direction of the operating table 1. The conveyor belt 11 can transport ink cartridges. Two mounting brackets 12 are spaced apart at the ends of the conveyor belt 11. The capping assembly 2 is mounted on the mounting bracket 12. The mounting bracket 12 is vertically arranged and U-shaped. The mounting bracket 12 consists of two spaced vertical rods 121 and a horizontal rod 122 located between the vertical rods 121 and at the ends. The two ends of the vertical rods 121 away from the horizontal rods 122 are fixed to the surface of the operating table 1. The conveyor belt 11 is located between the two ends of the mounting bracket, and the surface of the mounting bracket 12 is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 11.

[0034] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 A baffle 14 is provided on one side of the conveyor belt 11. The baffle 14 is vertical and its length direction is parallel to the movement direction of the conveyor belt 11. The baffle 14 is located inside the mounting frame 12 and is spaced apart from the end of the mounting frame 12. The baffle 14 can reduce the possibility of the ink cartridge coming off the conveyor belt 11 during transportation and pressing. The baffle 14 is detachably connected to the mounting base 13 and the operating table 1 via the connecting post 141. The mounting base 13 consists of two L-shaped pieces arranged opposite each other. The short side of the L-shaped pieces is fixed to the operating table 1 by bolts. The outer surfaces of the long sides of the L-shaped pieces are arranged opposite each other and each has a recessed notch. The recessed notches of the two L-shaped pieces form the mounting holes of the mounting base 13. The connecting post 141 is set on the plate surface of the baffle 14 away from the conveyor belt 11. The connecting post 141 is cylindrical and is adapted to the mounting holes of the mounting base 13. It is slidably inserted into the mounting base 13. The two L-shaped pieces clamp and fix the connecting post 141. The sliding connecting post 141 can adjust the position of the baffle 14 to adapt to the conveying of ink cartridges of different sizes.

[0035] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The capping assembly 2 includes a capping box 21 disposed within two mounting brackets 12, a mounting post 23 disposed on the mounting brackets 12, and an adjusting screw 24 disposed on the mounting brackets 12. The capping box 21 is provided with an opening facing the conveyor belt 11. The capping box 21 is spaced apart from the mounting brackets 12 and the conveyor belt 11, and the length direction of the capping box 21 is always in the same vertical plane as the movement direction of the conveyor belt 11. Multiple rotating rollers 211 are arranged at rotatable intervals inside the capping box 21. The axis of the rotating rollers 211 is perpendicular to the length direction of the capping box 21. The two ends of the rotating rollers 211 are rotatably connected to the two inner side walls of the capping box 21. The multiple rotating rollers 211 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the capping box 21. The circumferential wall of the rotating rollers protrudes from the surface of the opening of the capping box 21. In the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 11, the two ends of the capping box 21 are divided into a feeding end and a discharging end. The capping box 21 is tilted so that the discharging end side of the capping box 21 is closer to the conveyor belt 11. During the transportation of the ink cartridge, because the distance between the circumferential wall of the rotating rollers 211 and the surface of the conveyor belt 11 decreases, and both are moving, the ink cartridge cap is pressed tightly against the ink cartridge by the circumferential wall of the rotating rollers 211. The circumferential wall of the rotating rollers 211 is provided with rigid sponge, which can cushion the impact and reduce the possibility of damage to the ink cartridge cap.

[0036] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2The mounting columns 23 are vertically arranged, with two columns spaced apart on each mounting frame 12. The mounting columns 23 are cylindrical and slide through the end of the horizontal bar 122 along its length. The two ends of the mounting columns 23 are located on either side of the horizontal bar 122, and the mounting columns 23 are spaced apart from the vertical bars 121. A connecting plate 231 is fixedly connected to the end faces of the two mounting columns 23 within the mounting frame 12. The surface of the connecting plate 231 is fixed to the end face of the mounting column 23, and the surface of the connecting plate 231 is perpendicular to the axis of the mounting column 23. The connecting plate 231 is spaced apart from the mounting frame 12 and is connected to the pressure box 21 via a connector 22.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connector 22 is U-shaped and consists of a horizontal plate 221 and vertical plates 222 oppositely arranged at both ends of the same surface of the horizontal plate 221. The connector 22 is fitted onto the bottom of the outer wall of the cover box 21. The horizontal plate 221 is spaced apart from the outer wall of the bottom of the cover box 21. The opposite surfaces of the two vertical plates 222 are respectively attached to the two outer side walls of the cover box 21. A fixing post 224 is provided through the end face of the vertical plate 222 near the horizontal plate 221. The fixing post 224 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the cover box 21. The connector 22 is connected to the cover box. 21 is rotatably connected by a fixed column 224. An arc-shaped hole 223 is provided at the end of the vertical plate 222 away from the horizontal plate 221. The arc-shaped hole 223 connects the two surfaces of the vertical plate 222. The center of the arc-shaped hole 223 coincides with the axis of the fixed column 224. A sliding column 225 is provided in the arc-shaped hole 223. The peripheral wall of the sliding column 225 slides and fits against the wall of the arc-shaped hole 223. The arc-shaped hole 223 and the sliding column 225 reinforce the connection between the fixed column 224 and the connector 22 without interfering with the rotation of the pressure box 21.

[0038] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The horizontal plate 221, facing away from the vertical plate 222, is detachably connected to the connecting plate 231 by bolts, facilitating inspection, maintenance, and replacement of the pressure cover box 21. A limit plate 232 is provided at the upper end of two mounting columns 23 on a mounting bracket 12. The surface of the limit plate 232 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the mounting column 23. The limit plate 232 and the connecting plate 231 connect the two mounting columns 23, allowing them to slide synchronously and reducing the possibility of separation between the mounting column 23 and the mounting bracket 12.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2An adjusting screw 24 is provided on the crossbar 122. The adjusting screw 24 is located between two mounting posts 23. The adjusting screw 24 passes through the crossbar 122 and is threadedly connected to the crossbar 122. The axis of the adjusting screw 24 is parallel to the axis of the mounting post 23. The upper end of the adjusting screw 24 is rotatably set in the limiting plate 232, and the upper end of the adjusting screw 24 protrudes from the upper surface of the limiting plate 232.
