Design and Research of Cap Sorter Mechanism of PET Bottle Automatic Cap Screwing Machine

Abstract:

To improve the efficiency of PET bottle automatic capping machine and obtain a better usability for meeting the requirement of industrialization, a kind of cap sorter mechanism of Cap Screwing machine has been designed. The structure, working principle and working process of the mechanism was analyzed. The virtual model machine of cap sorter mechanism was established with the help of ADAMS software. The dynamic simulation and analysis of cap movement in cap sorter mechanism has been done, and optimization analysis of the factors which affected performance of the mechanism was also done. The optimization result was obtained through analysis of cap surface wear by using ANSYS software, which can provide theoretic foundation for the improvement and optimization of cap screwing machine.
