Integrated cover sorting and arranging mechanism for automatic can seamer

Abstract

The invention discloses an integrated cover sorting and arranging mechanism for an automatic can seamer. Only one driving air cylinder is used as a power source; and sorting and arranging operation for abnormally-shaped can covers in square, polygon and the like is realized at the same time. The integrated cover sorting and arranging mechanism comprises a stander, a cover bin part, a sliding boltpart, the driving air cylinder, a can body clamp and a can cover positioning baffle plate, and is characterized in that: a small sliding bolt capable of sliding forth and back along a large sliding bolt and a cover sorting fork which is positioned at the front end of the large sliding bolt and capable of sliding up and down are arranged in the sliding bolt part; inclined surfaces which are matched with each other are formed at the front end of the small sliding bolt and in the middle of the cover sorting fork; and when the small sliding bolt moves forwards relative to the cover sorting fork, the cover sorting fork is forcibly pressed down. An aim of sorting and arranging covers is fulfilled by using only one air cylinder; and the system has a simple structure, is convenient to control, and has high work efficiency.

Description

[0001] Field [0002] The invention relates to a lid separation and lid removal that can be used for an automatic can seamer, specifically a mechanism that uses a single drive cylinder as a power source to realize two operations of lid separation and lid removal in an integrated manner. Background technique [0003] Special-shaped cans such as squares and polygons are more and more widely used in packaging. Compared with round cans, the seaming process is less automated and less efficient. One of the bottlenecks that limits the sealing speed of special-shaped cans is the steps of separating and putting caps before sealing. Separating the lids refers to separating the stacked can lids one by one, and placing the lids is to accurately place the can lids into the opening of the end face of the can body. [0004] In the prior art, separating the cover and putting the cover are two separate work steps, each having independent power. In the fully automatic seaming machine, the tw...

Problems solved by technology

In the fully automatic seaming machine, the two working steps are either coordinated with each other under the control of the control system including the controller, sensor and signal processing unit, or connected through a complex transmission chain, and the system composition is relatively complicated.

In order to ensure that the can lid has been positioned when the lid is placed, a time delay is usually set between the two working steps, which affects the work efficiency
