Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated bottle cap feeding technology, specifically a bottle cap moving feeding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In industries such as beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, automated bottle cap feeding is a crucial step in packaging production lines. Currently, most common bottle cap feeding mechanisms use conveyor belts for direct transport. However, bottle caps tend to pile up or stick together during transport, leading to overlapping, misalignment, or jamming at the gripping station. This affects the stability of the gripping mechanism and production efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, we propose a bottle cap moving and feeding mechanism to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bottle cap moving and feeding mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bottle cap moving and feeding mechanism, comprising: a support frame, a conveyor belt installed on the support frame, a servo motor connected to the conveyor belt, a gripping mechanism docked at the unloading end of the conveyor belt, and a bottle cap translation mechanism installed on the support frame at the unloading end of the conveyor belt; The bottle cap translation mechanism includes a cylinder, which is linearly driven by a bottle cap toggle hook. The driving direction of the cylinder is perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt. A cylinder is installed on the support plate. When the bottle cap is transported by the conveyor belt to the bottle cap actuation hook, the cylinder drives the telescopic rod to retract, thereby causing the bottle cap actuation hook to move the bottle cap horizontally away from the subsequent bottle cap.
[0006] Preferably, the bottle cap translation mechanism includes a support plate, which is installed on the side of the support frame and located at the unloading end of the conveyor belt. A cylinder is installed on the support plate.
[0007] Preferably, the cylinder drives two telescopic rods, with a bottle cap toggle hook fixedly installed at the front end of each telescopic rod, and the telescopic rod's extension and retraction direction is perpendicular to the conveyor belt's running direction.
[0008] Preferably, the cylinder is equipped with two position sensors, which are connected to the piston of the cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, a guide plate is installed on the support frame. The guide plate includes a fixing plate, which is fixedly installed on the support frame. A guide strip is integrally connected to the fixing plate. The guide strip is located above the conveyor belt, and a vertical direction sensor is installed on the guide strip at the unloading end of the conveyor belt.
[0010] Preferably, the support frame is also equipped with three sets of horizontal direction sensors, which are located on one side of the conveyor belt.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By setting up a bottle cap translation mechanism, in conjunction with a cylinder, telescopic rod and bottle cap toggle hook, the bottle caps at the end of the conveyor belt can be translated and separated one by one, avoiding bottle caps from piling up or sticking together, and effectively solving the problem of gripping interference. 2. By setting up position sensors, vertical direction sensors and horizontal direction sensors, the position of the bottle cap can be monitored in real time and accurately positioned to ensure that the bottle cap hook is precisely aligned with the bottle cap, thereby improving the feeding accuracy. 3. The structural design of the guide plate and guide strip effectively guides the bottle cap to move stably on the conveyor belt, preventing deviation or tipping, and further improving the stability and reliability of feeding.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a bottle cap moving and feeding mechanism, including: a support frame 1, a conveyor belt 3 installed on the support frame 1, a gripping mechanism connected to the unloading end of the conveyor belt 3, a servo motor 4 connected to the conveyor belt 3, a bottle cap translation mechanism 5 installed on the support frame 1 at the unloading end of the conveyor belt 3, the conveyor belt 3 transports the bottle caps one by one, when it reaches the bottle cap translation mechanism 5, the bottle cap translation mechanism 5 moves one bottle cap to be misaligned with the subsequent bottle caps, and the gripping mechanism grabs it, so as to avoid multiple bottle caps sticking together and interfering with the gripping mechanism.
[0016] Specifically, the bottle cap translation mechanism 5 includes a support plate 51, which is installed on the side of the support frame 1 and is located at the unloading end of the conveyor belt 3. A cylinder 52 is installed on the support plate 51. The cylinder 52 drives two telescopic rods 53. A bottle cap actuating hook 55 is fixedly installed at the front end of the telescopic rod 53. The telescopic rod 53 extends and retracts in a direction perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt 3. When the bottle cap is transported by the conveyor belt 3 to the bottle cap actuating hook 55, the cylinder 52 drives the telescopic rod 53 to retract inward, thereby causing the bottle cap actuating hook 55 to move the bottle cap horizontally away from the subsequent bottle cap.
[0017] Two position sensors 54 are installed on the cylinder 52. The position sensors 54 are connected to the piston of the cylinder 52 to monitor the extension of the telescopic rod 53, so as to determine the position of the bottle cap.
[0018] A guide plate 2 is installed on the support frame 1. The guide plate 2 includes a fixing plate 21. The fixing plate 21 is fixedly installed on the support frame 1. A guide strip 22 is integrally connected to the fixing plate 21. The guide strip 22 is located above the conveyor belt 3 and guides the evaluation.
[0019] A vertical direction sensor 6 is installed at the unloading end of the conveyor belt 3 on the guide strip 22. The vertical direction sensor 6 is used to monitor the position of the bottle cap at the unloading end of the conveyor belt 3, so that the cylinder 52 determines the extension and retraction amount, thereby realizing the precise docking of the bottle cap toggle hook 55 with the bottle cap.
[0020] Three sets of horizontal direction sensors 7 are also installed on the support frame 1. The horizontal direction sensors 7 are located on one side of the conveyor belt 3 and are used to monitor the bottle caps on the conveyor belt 3 in real time, providing auxiliary coordinates for the subsequent positioning of the bottle cap translation.
[0021] Working principle: The bottle cap is conveyed to the unloading end by the conveyor belt 3, and the guide strip 22 on the guide plate 2 guides the bottle cap to prevent it from deviating; When the bottle cap reaches the bottle cap translation mechanism 5, the vertical direction sensor 6 detects the vertical position of the bottle cap, and the horizontal direction sensor 7 detects the horizontal position of the bottle cap on the conveyor belt 3. Cylinder 52 drives telescopic rod 53 to retract inward according to sensor signal, causing bottle cap hook 55 to move the bottle cap horizontally and separate it from subsequent bottle caps; Position sensor 54 monitors the extension of telescopic rod 53 in real time to ensure that the bottle cap moves into place. Subsequently, the gripping mechanism grabs the separated bottle caps to complete the feeding process. Throughout the process, sensors work together to achieve precise positioning and separation of the bottle caps, effectively avoiding interference from multiple caps and improving feeding efficiency and stability.
