Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bottle cap feeding technology, specifically relating to a bottle cap feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production lines in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, bottle cap feeding is a crucial step, as its efficiency and stability directly affect the smoothness of subsequent processes such as packaging and labeling. Currently, traditional bottle cap feeding mechanisms mostly use vibratory feeders combined with linear tracks to transport bottle caps. During the transport process, bottle caps often need to be marked with inkjet printing (such as production date and batch number).

[0003] Existing inkjet printers for feeding mechanisms are mostly fixed installations, making it inconvenient to adjust the inkjet printing position according to different bottle cap sizes. When changing the bottle cap type, the inkjet printer needs to be disassembled and reinstalled, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to blurry printing and positional deviation due to positioning errors, affecting the accuracy of product traceability. Secondly, the traditional feeding mechanism has a long conveying distance between the inkjet printing mechanism and the curing mechanism, which occupies a large space and easily increases the cost.

[0004] Therefore, a bottle cap feeding mechanism was designed to overcome the aforementioned technical defects. Utility Model Content

[0005] (1) Technical problems to be solved In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bottle cap feeding mechanism, which aims to solve the technical problems of the inconvenience of flexibly adjusting the height and angle of the inkjet printer and the large space occupation of the existing technology.

Limiting rod. Detailed Implementation

[0015] This specific embodiment is a bottle cap feeding mechanism, the structural diagram of which is shown below. Figures 1-4As shown, it includes a support platform 1, a bracket 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support platform 1, a vibrating seat 3 fixedly connected to the top surface of the support platform 1, a guide plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the vibrating seat 3, a spiral guide rail 5 inside the guide plate 4, an opening in the guide plate 4, and a feeding rail 6 at the opening of the guide plate 4. A support rod 7 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support platform 1. Two sleeves 9 are assembled on the side wall of the support rod 7. An mounting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upper sleeve 9. An inkjet printer 11 is installed on the side wall of the mounting plate 10. A height adjustment component is provided on the side wall of the mounting plate 10. A curing component is provided on the side wall of the feeding track 6.

[0016] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the height adjustment assembly includes a horizontal plate 12 mounted on the top of the support rod 7. A lead screw 14 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the horizontal plate 12. A handwheel 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw 14. A screw hole 13 is provided on the side wall of the mounting plate 10. The lead screw 14 is threadedly connected to the screw hole 13.

[0017] Bolt 16 is movably connected to the top surface of the horizontal plate 12, and bolt 16 is threadedly connected to the top end face of the support rod 7.

[0018] Rotating the handwheel 15 drives the lead screw 14 to rotate, causing the mounting plate 10 and the inkjet printer 11 to move up and down along the support rod 7, quickly adjusting the relative height of the inkjet printer 11 and the feeding track 6. This structure can complete the inkjet printing and positioning of bottle caps of different heights without disassembling the equipment; in addition, the horizontal plate 12 and the support rod 7 are detachably connected by bolts 16, which facilitates the adjustment of the angle of the inkjet printer 11 and increases its practicality.

[0019] like Figure 3 As shown, the curing assembly includes a support plate 8 fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower sleeve 9, a feeding track 6 passing through the support plate 8, a through groove on the side wall of the support plate 8, a connecting plate 17 fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 8, and a curing lamp 18 installed on the side wall of the connecting plate 17.

[0020] The curing assembly secures the curing lamp 18 to the support plate 8 and connecting plate 17, ensuring that the curing lamp 18 is precisely aligned with the bottle cap coding area on the feeding track 6. Compared to natural air drying or curing in a fixed position, the curing lamp 18 can target the coding area and avoids the risk of the coding being rubbed off.

[0021] like Figure 3As shown, a stud 19 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the lower sleeve 9. One end of the stud 19 is fixedly connected to a rotating wheel, and the other end of the stud 19 abuts against the side wall of the support rod 7. The lower sleeve 9 is fixed to the support rod 7 by the stud 19. Loosening the stud 19 allows it to slide up and down along the support rod 7, adjusting the distance between the curing lamp 18 and the bottle cap (to adapt to the curing requirements of bottle caps of different materials; for example, the distance needs to be shortened to enhance the curing strength for plastic caps). It is particularly effective for the localized inkjet printing curing of irregularly shaped bottle caps.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a limit rod 20 is provided on the upper side of the feeding track 6, and the limit rod 20 passes through the support plate 8.

[0023] The limiting rod 20 is used to block and limit the top of the bottle cap to prevent the bottle cap from falling off due to external force.

[0024] Working principle: First, adjust the height and angle of the inkjet printer 11 according to the specifications of the bottle cap. Directly turn the handwheel 15 to drive the lead screw 14 to rotate. The lead screw 14, through its cooperation with the screw hole 13, can drive the mounting plate 10 to rise, so that the mounting plate 10 drives the inkjet printer 11 to rise and fall to a suitable height. Then loosen the bolt 16 to release the fixation of the horizontal plate 12. Then turn the sleeve 9 to drive the inkjet printer 11 to move to a suitable angle. Tighten the bolt 16 to facilitate accurate printing on the bottle cap. When loading bottle caps, the bottle caps are placed in the guide tray 4. With the vibration of the vibrating seat 3, the bottle caps are guided into the spiral guide rail 5, and then from the spiral guide rail 5 into the loading rail 6. When the bottle caps reach the bottom of the inkjet printer 11, they are quickly printed and the curing lamp 18 is activated to quickly cure the printed information, avoiding blurry printing information and effectively improving loading efficiency.

[0025] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0026] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
