Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment, and in particular to a bottle cap conveying device and a bottle cap packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the bottle cap production and packaging industry, a complete bottle cap packaging line typically involves multiple processes. The conveying link, as the core hub connecting these processes, directly impacts the overall operating efficiency and stability of the packaging line. Existing technologies, such as the palletizing machine for bottle caps disclosed in patent 2024118285396, require an additional lifting line to accommodate the high-low docking requirements of the palletizing process. This lifting line not only increases the overall size and manufacturing cost of the equipment but also raises the equipment failure rate due to its multi-segment connection structure.

[0003] In the actual production process, after the bottle caps are processed in the previous forming process, they need to be transported to the palletizing station via a conveyor line for palletizing before entering the packaging stage. However, in the existing conveyor line slide design, the curved part usually adopts a large radius structure to avoid bottle cap jamming. This not only increases the space occupied by the slide, but also places extremely high demands on the alignment accuracy of each conveyor section and slide during the assembly process. Operators need to spend a lot of time adjusting the position to ensure smooth connection, which seriously affects the assembly efficiency and production progress of the packaging line and is difficult to adapt to the efficient, precise and stable conveying requirements of modern bottle cap production.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bottle cap conveying device and a bottle cap packaging machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] Reference Figures 1-2 A bottle cap conveying device includes a first conveyor line 10, a second conveyor line 20, a third conveyor line 30, and a feeding chute 40; The first conveyor line 10, the second conveyor line 20 and the third conveyor line 30 are arranged in parallel, and are preferably set as belt conveyor lines. The belt conveyor drives the bottle cap to move by friction, which has the advantages of smooth conveying, low noise and less damage to the surface of the bottle cap. The first conveyor line 10 conveys along the first direction A, the second conveyor line 20 conveys along the second direction B, and the third conveyor line 30 conveys along the first direction A. Through the alternating conveying design, in conjunction with the feeding chute 40, the bottle caps can be continuously conveyed in different directions. Multi-segment conveying can be completed without the need for additional lifting lines, which greatly simplifies the equipment structure. The feeding chute 40 is arranged on the first conveyor line 10, the second conveyor line 20 and the third conveyor line 30. The bottle caps are conveyed in the feeding chute 40 under the drive of the first conveyor line 10, the second conveyor line 20 and the third conveyor line 30.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-2 In some embodiments, the feeding chute 40 includes a first straight segment 41, a second straight segment 42, a third straight segment 43, a first curved segment 44, and a second curved segment 45. The first straight segment 41 is positioned above the first conveyor line 10 and is adapted to the conveying direction of the first conveyor line 10; The second straight segment 42 is positioned above the second conveyor line 20 and corresponds to the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 20; The third straight segment 43 is positioned above the third conveyor line 30 and matches the conveying direction of the third conveyor line 30; The first curved section 44 spans between the end of the first conveyor line 10 and the beginning of the second conveyor line 20. The first straight section 41 and the second straight section 42 are connected through the first curved section 44, realizing the transition of the bottle cap from the first conveyor line 10 to the second conveyor line 20. The second curved section 45 spans between the end of the second conveyor line 20 and the beginning of the third conveyor line 30. The second straight section 42 and the third straight section 43 are connected through the second curved section 45, completing the secondary turning of the bottle cap from the second conveyor line 20 to the third conveyor line 30.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-2 In some embodiments, a first counting component 50 is provided at the beginning of the first conveyor line 10 for real-time counting of the total number of bottle caps entering the conveying device, facilitating production control during the production process; see reference. Figures 1-2 In other embodiments, a second counting component 60 is provided at the end of the third conveyor line 30, which can perform secondary counting of the number of bottle caps that are about to be conveyed. By comparing the data with the data of the first counting component 50, abnormal situations such as missed delivery or jamming during the conveying process can be detected in time, thereby improving the accuracy of conveying.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-2 In some embodiments, the end of the third conveyor line 30 is provided with a discharge chute 70 that is connected to the loading chute 40 and is laterally open. After the bottle caps have completed the entire conveying process, they can be arranged in a row through the discharge chute 70 and output laterally to the next process. In other embodiments, a baffle assembly 80 is provided at the connection between the loading chute 40 and the discharge chute 70 to prevent bottle caps in the loading chute 40 from entering the discharge chute 70. Preferably, the baffle assembly 80 is a cylinder. The opening and closing of the channel is controlled by the extension and retraction of the cylinder piston rod. Under normal conditions, the piston rod extends to prevent bottle caps from entering the discharge chute 70. When the subsequent workstation is ready, the piston rod retracts to open the channel, ensuring that the discharge rhythm is precisely matched with the subsequent process and avoiding bottle cap accumulation. In addition, the device also includes a cover plate 90 that closes the upper opening of the loading chute 40. The cover plate 90 can prevent bottle caps from falling off the upper end of the chute due to shaking or high-speed movement during the conveying process, and at the same time plays a role in preventing dust and foreign objects from entering, further improving the conveying stability.

[0026] The working principle of the bottle cap conveying device provided by this utility model is as follows: 1. After the equipment is started, the first conveyor line 10, the second conveyor line 20, and the third conveyor line 30 run synchronously in the preset direction. The first conveyor line 10 and the third conveyor line 30 rotate in the first direction A, and the second conveyor line 20 rotates in the second direction B. The belts of each conveyor line provide power for the bottle cap conveying through friction. 2. The bottle caps from the previous process enter the beginning of the first conveyor line 10. After the first counting component 50 completes the quantity count, they enter the first straight section 41 of the feeding chute 40 under the drive of the first conveyor line 10 and are smoothly conveyed along the first direction A. 3. When the bottle cap reaches the end of the first conveyor line 10, it smoothly transitions to the second straight section 42 through the first curved section 44. At this time, the conveying power of the second conveyor line 20 along the second direction B is transmitted to the bottle cap through the belt friction, driving the bottle cap to change direction and be stably conveyed along the second straight section 42. Since the radius of the first curved section 44 is small and it is closely attached to the conveyor line, the bottle cap is subjected to uniform force during the turning process, without obvious shaking or deviation. 4. After the bottle cap reaches the end of the second conveyor line 20, it turns again through the second curved section 45 and enters the third straight section 43. Driven by the third conveyor line 30 along the first direction A, it continues to be conveyed. The compact design of the second curved section 45 also ensures the stability of the turning conveyor. 5. When the bottle caps are conveyed to the end of the third conveyor line 30, the second counting component 60 counts them a second time. If the subsequent station is ready, the cylinder piston rod of the control baffle component 80 is retracted, opening the connecting channel between the loading slide 40 and the unloading slide 70. The bottle caps are driven by the third conveyor line 30 and enter the unloading slide 70, and are output laterally to the subsequent station. If the subsequent station is not ready, the baffle component 80 remains closed, and the bottle caps are temporarily stored in the third straight section 43 until the signal is triggered before the unloading operation is performed. 6. Throughout the entire conveying process, the cover plate 90 closes the upper end of the feeding slide 40 to prevent the bottle cap from falling off or foreign objects from entering, ensuring a continuous and stable conveying process.

[0027] This utility model also provides a bottle cap packaging machine, including the aforementioned bottle cap conveying device.

[0028] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: by using three parallel and alternating conveyor lines in conjunction with the feeding chute, the lifting line is eliminated, which greatly simplifies the equipment structure, reduces the space occupied by the equipment, and reduces the manufacturing cost; at the same time, the radius of the curved part of the chute is greatly reduced, eliminating the need for high-precision alignment operations, significantly reducing the alignment difficulty during assembly, improving assembly efficiency, ensuring a continuous and smooth conveying process, and adapting to the usage requirements of high-efficiency production scenarios.

[0029] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
