The first volume chamber 212 can communicate with the outside through the first opening 214 and the discharge port 121 at the first discharge position, and does not communicate with the inner space 90 of the bottle 9. At this time, the take-up body 21 closes the feed port 111, and the quantitative content in the first take-up chamber 212 can flow to the outside through the first opening 214 and the discharge port 121.

On the other hand, the second feeding position and the second discharging position allow the user to quantitatively take out more content. It is used in a manner similar to the aforementioned first feed position and second discharge position. Referring to FIG. 6, in the second feeding position, the second measuring chamber 213 communicates with the inner space 90 of the bottle 9 via the second opening 215 and the feeding port 111 of the bottle cap 1, and the second measuring chamber 213 is not Connected to the outside. After the bottle 9 is inverted, the contents of the inner space 90 of the bottle 9 can flow into the second volume chamber 213 via the feed port 111 and the second opening 215 without flowing to the outside.

Referring to FIG. 7, after the second volume chamber 213 is filled with the contents, the user can rotate the grip portion 24 to position the take-up unit 2 at the second discharge position. In the second discharge position, the second volume chamber 213 communicates with the outside through the second opening 215 and the discharge port 121 of the bottle cap 1, and the second volume chamber 213 does not communicate with the inner space 90 of the bottle 9. . At this time, the take-up body 21 closes the feed port 111, and the quantitative content in the second take-up chamber 213 can flow to the outside through the second opening 215 and the discharge port 121, and can be quantitatively taken out from the bottle 9. More content.

Referring to FIG. 8, in the closed position, the take-up unit 2 closes the cap 1 The inlet port 111 and the discharge port 121 prevent the accommodating space 10 from communicating with the inner space 90 and the outside of the bottle 9, and can prevent the contents from being inside the bottle 9, the first volume chamber 212 or the second volume. The chamber 213 flows to the outside to create a closed isolation effect.

It is to be noted that the engaging protrusions 26 are respectively engaged with the first engaging holes 113 and the second engaging holes 123, so that the taking units 2 can be respectively positioned in the closed position and the first feeding position. , a first discharge position, a second feed position, and a second discharge position.

Referring to Figure 9, there is shown a second preferred embodiment of the automatic capping device of the present invention. The second preferred embodiment is identical to the main components of the first preferred embodiment, that is, the second preferred embodiment also includes a cap 1 and a take-up unit 2. Here, the same point will not be described again, except that the take-up body 21 of the take-up unit 2 of the second preferred embodiment has only the first take-up chamber 212 and no other take-up chamber.

In summary, the automatic capping device of the present invention allows the user to quantitatively remove the contents of the bottle by placing the capping unit in a plurality of operating positions by the cooperation of the cap 1 and the taking unit 2 Therefore, the convenience of use is enhanced, and the object of the present invention can be achieved.
