Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a feeding device, specifically a vibratory feeding device for beverage bottle caps, belonging to the field of beverage bottle cap feeding technology. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic bottle caps are packaging components made of polyolefin (PE / PP) as the main raw material through injection molding or compression molding processes. They are mainly used in the food, beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical fields. In beverage filling production lines, automatic feeding of bottle caps is one of the key links to improve production efficiency.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN206298139U discloses an automatic feeding device for bottle caps of various salt seasoning bottles, including a bracket with a hopper on the bracket. The hopper is characterized by having a notch on its side, extending from the top to the bottom of the hopper. Side plates are provided on both sides of the notch, with the upper end of the side plates extending beyond the upper end of the hopper and the lower end extending beyond the lower end of the side plates. A shaft is provided between the two side plates, and a conveyor belt is fitted on the shaft. The conveyor belt is equipped with baffles.

[0004] However, the inventor of the above device believes that there are certain defects. As the number of bottle caps inside the hopper gradually decreases, the feeding tray has difficulty in conveying the bottle caps piled up on the bottom wall of the hopper upwards, which easily leads to some remaining bottle caps accumulating at the bottom of the hopper, resulting in incomplete feeding and reduced feeding efficiency. Therefore, this utility model provides a vibrating feeding device for beverage bottle caps. Utility Model Content

[0023] This utility model provides a vibratory feeding device for beverage bottle caps.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A vibratory feeding device for beverage bottle caps includes a vibratory plate 1 and a feeding housing 2. The feeding housing 2 is equipped with a feeding mechanism, which includes a conveyor belt 4 installed inside the feeding housing 2. A main roller 42 and a driven roller are rotatably connected to both ends inside the feeding housing 2, and the main roller 42 and the driven roller are connected by the conveyor belt 4. Multiple feeding trays 41 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt 4. A hopper 3 connected to the feeding housing 2 is fixedly connected to the feeding housing 2. The vibratory plate 1 is the prior art in this field. There is a pulse electromagnet under the hopper of the vibratory plate 1, which can make the hopper vibrate vertically. The inclined spring plate drives the hopper to torsion and vibrate around its vertical axis. Its working purpose is to automatically and orderly arrange disordered workpieces in an orderly manner and accurately transport them to the next process through vibration. By driving the main roller 42 to rotate, the conveyor belt 4 is driven to transport materials inside the feeding housing 2. The feeding trays 41 are used to feed and transport materials inside the hopper 3.

[0026] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 The vibratory feeder 1 has a feeding track 11 fixedly connected to its discharge end, and a first transparent cover plate 12 fixedly connected to the top of the vibratory feeder 1. One end of the feeding housing 2 is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 21, and the other end of the discharge pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the first transparent cover plate 12. The bottle caps lifted by the feeding mechanism inside the feeding housing 2 finally fall into the vibratory feeder 1 through the discharge pipe 21 for feeding and conveying.

[0027] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A second transparent cover plate 22 is detachably connected to the feeding housing 2 by bolts. A motor 43 that drives the main rotating roller 42 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 4. An elastic baffle 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper 3 near the feeding housing 2. A third transparent cover plate 31 is rotatably connected to the top of the hopper 3. Opening the third transparent cover plate 31 makes it easy to pour bottle cap material into the hopper 3. Under the action of the elastic baffle 5, the bottle cap is prevented from falling into the bottom of the feeding housing 2 through the gap at the bottom of the hopper 3. During the transmission process, the feeding tray 41 intermittently squeezes the elastic baffle 5 to deform and flip it upward. The main rotating roller 42 is driven to rotate inside the feeding housing 2 by starting the motor 43. A tension adjustment component for adjusting the tension of the conveyor belt 4 is also provided at one end of the feeding housing 2.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The inner wall of the hopper 3 is provided with a pusher plate 6. The hopper 3 is provided with a drive mechanism that drives the pusher plate 6 to slide towards the upper material housing 2. The drive mechanism includes a side box 7 fixed to one side of the hopper 3. A connecting slide rod 61 is fixedly connected to one side of the pusher plate 6. One end of the connecting slide rod 61 extends into the interior of the side box 7. Under the action of the connecting slide rod 61, the pusher plate 6 slides horizontally and stably inside the hopper 3. One side of the pusher plate 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the hopper 3. By driving the pusher plate 6 to slide towards the upper material housing 2, the material inside the hopper 3 is gradually pushed towards the upper material housing 2 for feeding and conveying.

[0030] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4A reducer 8 is fixedly connected inside the side box 7. A turntable 9 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reducer 8. A connecting rod 91 is rotatably connected to one side of the turntable 9. A through groove is provided between the hopper 3 and the side box 7. One end of the connecting rod 91 extends into the inside of the hopper 3 through the through groove. The other end of the connecting rod 91 is hinged to one side of the pusher plate 6. The input shaft of the reducer 8 is driven to rotate, so that the output shaft after reduction drives the turntable 9 to rotate. The connecting rod 91 pushes or pulls the pusher plate 6 to slide inside the hopper 3.

[0031] The speed reducer plays a role in matching the speed and transmitting torque between the prime mover and the working machine or actuator. It is a relatively precise machine, and its purpose is to reduce the speed and increase the torque.

[0032] Example 3:

[0033] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The input shaft of the reducer 8 is fixedly connected to a first sprocket. The shaft of the main roller 42 extends to the outside of the feeding housing 2. The shaft of the main roller 42 is fixedly connected to a second sprocket. The first sprocket and the second sprocket are connected by a transmission chain. Under the action of the first sprocket, the second sprocket and the transmission chain, the main roller 42 rotates, driving the input shaft of the reducer 8 to rotate. There is no need to install a separate drive motor. Alternatively, the input shaft of the reducer 8 can be driven by a drive motor. The choice can be made according to the specific needs of the site.

[0034] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A cover is detachably connected to one side of the side box 7 by bolts. The bolts are distributed at the four corners of the side box 7. The cover can be removed by removing the bolts on one side of the side box 7, which facilitates maintenance and repair of the interior of the side box 7.

[0035] Working principle: The device is installed in a suitable position. By opening the third transparent cover 31, the material is poured into the hopper 3. The motor 43 is started to drive the main roller 42 to rotate, so that the conveyor belt 4 is transmitted and transported inside the feeding shell 2. The feeding tray 41 drives the material to be lifted and fed. Finally, the material falls into the vibrating plate 1 through the discharge pipe 21 for automatic, orderly, and accurate delivery to the next process. During the rotation of the main roller 42, the input shaft of the reducer 8 is driven to rotate by the first sprocket, the second sprocket and the transmission chain. The rotation of the turntable 9, connected by the connecting rod 91, pushes the pusher plate 6 to slide inside the hopper 3 to the feeding shell 2, so as to gradually push the material inside the hopper 3 to the feeding shell 2, ensuring the feeding efficiency of the feeding mechanism.
