Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of folding spoon processing, in particular to a folding spoon pressing device. Background Art

[0002] A spoon is a utensil with a handle that can be used to scoop things, and is often used to drink soup, eat rice, and drink porridge, etc. In order to facilitate the storage of the spoon in the food packaging, the spoon in some food packaging such as eight-treasure porridge is often designed to be foldable.

[0003] After the traditional folding spoon is demolded from the mold, its first folding part and the second folding part are often in an unfolded state at 90 degrees. Therefore, after the folding spoon is demolded, the unfolded folding spoon needs to be folded into a storage state. Most of the existing folding devices for folding spoons adopt a push-folding method, and most of their structures are as described in the text of the Chinese patent publication number CN116766563A entitled "A folding device for a spoon". The first push block and the second push block move in a straight line direction, driving the second handle and the spoon part to rotate relative to the first handle, thereby realizing automatic folding of the spoon. In this method, although the folding of the folding spoon can be realized, the problem of loose engagement of the clamping part between the first folding part and the second folding part of the folding spoon often exists by only using the linear motion method, which leads to the situation that the folding spoon is unfolded again after being folded. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to avoid and overcome the technical problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a folding spoon folding device, which can stably engage the clamping part between the first folding part and the second folding part of the folding spoon after the folding spoon is folded, so as to prevent the folding spoon from unfolding again after being folded.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A folding spoon pressing device comprises a horizontal seat and a fixing mechanism for fixing a first folding part of the folding spoon horizontally, a push block is slidably arranged on the horizontal seat, and the sliding path of the push block is a curved surface motion trajectory that gradually changes from a low position to a high position, so that the push block can produce an oblique upward pressing action on the second folding part of the folding spoon toward the first folding part during the forward movement.

[0007] As a further solution of the utility model: a pad strip horizontally fixed to the top of the horizontal seat is provided on the sliding path of the push block, and the end of the pad strip is smoothly connected to the horizontal seat, so that the push block can form a gradually changing curved motion trajectory from a low position to a high position during the process of sliding from the horizontal seat to the top of the pad strip.

[0008] As a further solution of the utility model: the sliding of the push block is driven by a cylinder installed on a horizontal seat, and the cylinder is connected to the push block through a floating head.

[0009] As a further solution of the utility model: groove plates fixed to the horizontal seat are arranged on both sides of the sliding path of the push block, and the inner side walls of the two groove plates and the top surface of the horizontal seat are enclosed to form a sliding groove for sliding of the push block, and the groove depth of the sliding groove is greater than the height of the pad.

[0010] As a further solution of the utility model: the fixing mechanism is a suction cup assembly, and the first folding portion of the folding spoon is adsorbed and fixed on the adsorption head of the suction cup assembly.

[0011] As a further solution of the utility model: the adsorption heads of the suction cup assembly are arranged into several groups arranged at intervals along the sliding direction of the push block, and several push heads arranged at intervals along the sliding direction of the push block are fixed on the top of the push block. The second folding part of the folding spoon on each group of adsorption heads is respectively located on the travel path of one of the push heads, and the corresponding second folding part is driven by the corresponding push head to fold and press toward the first folding part.

[0012] As a further solution of the utility model: a stopper is fixed on the top of the horizontal seat to locate the return end point of the return end of the push block.

[0013] As a further solution of the utility model: a slider is fixed to the bottom of the push block, and the push block is matched with the slider, the slide groove and the pad strip, and a pad strip and a slider form a set of lifting and lowering matching components. The lifting and lowering matching components are arranged in two groups, and the sliders of the two groups of lifting and lowering matching components are respectively fixed below the two ends of the bottom of the push block.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. The sliding path of the push block is a gradually changing curved motion trajectory from a low position to a high position, so that the push block can produce an oblique upward squeezing action on the second folding part of the folding spoon toward the first folding part during the forward movement; thereby, after the second folding part is folded toward the first folding part, it will be further pressed, ensuring the stability of the folding spoon after folding.

[0016] 2. The pad strip is used to realize the upward movement of the horizontal seat, so there is no need to set up another power source on the basis of the power source for pushing the push block to move horizontally, which effectively controls the cost of the folding device.

[0017] 3. The cylinder is connected to the push block through a floating head. The setting of the floating head enables the cylinder to drive the push block to slide back and forth without hindering the lifting movement of the push block.

[0018] 4. The inner side wall of the groove plate constituting the groove wall of the slide groove limits the push block from deflecting to both sides, so that the push block can achieve lifting movement on the basis of sliding in the slide groove; in addition, the groove depth of the slide groove is greater than the height of the cushion bar, so that when the push block slides to the top of the cushion bar, the push block can still be located in the groove cavity of the slide groove, ensuring the stability of the push block's horizontal movement and lifting movement.

[0019] 5. The suction cup assembly is used for fixation, which is convenient and quick, and will not cause mechanical damage to the folding spoon.

[0020] 6. The suction heads of the suction cup assembly are arranged in groups spaced apart along the sliding direction of the push block, and a plurality of push heads spaced apart along the sliding direction of the push block are fixed on the top of the push block. The second folding portion of the folding spoon on each group of suction heads is respectively located on the travel path of one of the push heads, and the corresponding push head drives the corresponding second folding portion to fold and press toward the first folding portion, thereby realizing the synchronous folding of multiple folding spoons.

[0021] 7. A stopper is fixed on the top of the horizontal seat to locate the return end of the push block, ensuring that after the push block returns, each push head corresponds to each group of adsorption heads.

[0022] 8. A slider is fixed at the bottom of the push block, and the push block is matched with the slider, the slide groove and the pad. A pad and a slider form a lifting and matching assembly, and the lifting and matching assembly is set in two groups, and the sliders of the two groups of lifting and matching assemblies are respectively fixed below the two ends of the bottom of the push block, so that the two ends of the push block can keep moving upward synchronously during the rising process, thereby ensuring that the push block and all the folding spoons are evenly bent and pressed.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] For ease of understanding, the specific structure and working mode of the utility model are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0030] The specific structure of the utility model refers to Figure 1-4 As shown, its main structure includes a fixing mechanism for fixing the folding spoon 20 and a push block 50 capable of horizontal and vertical movement. Specifically, the sliding path of the push block 50 is a gradually changing curved motion trajectory from a low position to a high position, so that the push block 50 can produce an oblique upward squeezing action on the second folding portion 22 of the folding spoon 20 toward the first folding portion 21 during the forward movement; so that the second folding portion 22 will be further pressed after being folded toward the first folding portion 21, ensuring the stability of the folding spoon 20 after being folded.

[0031] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-2 As shown, the push block 50 is slidably arranged on the horizontal seat 30; the fixing mechanism fixes the first folding part 21 of the folding spoon 20 horizontally, and the second folding part 22 of the folding spoon 20 is pushed to bend toward the first folding part 21 during the sliding process of the push block 50. In addition, a pad strip 31 horizontally fixed to the top of the horizontal seat 30 is arranged on the sliding path of the push block 50, and the end of the pad strip 31 is smoothly connected to the horizontal seat 30; so that the push block 50 can slide from the horizontal seat 30 to the top of the pad strip 31, and in the process of the push block 50 sliding to the top of the pad strip 31, the push block 50 generates an upward squeezing action to push the second folding part 22 upward and press it against the first folding part 21, so that the second folding part 22 will be further pressed after folding toward the first folding part 21, ensuring the stability of the folding spoon 20 after folding. In addition, the present application adopts the pad strip 31 to realize the upward movement of the horizontal seat 30, and there is no need to set up another power source on the basis of the power source for pushing the push block 50 to move horizontally, effectively controlling the cost of the pressing device.

[0032] In addition, groove plates 33 fixed to the horizontal seat 30 are provided on both sides of the sliding path of the push block 50, and the inner side walls of the two groove plates 33 and the top surface of the horizontal seat 30 are enclosed to form a slide groove for the push block 50 to slide, and the groove depth of the slide groove is greater than the height of the cushion strip 31. The inner side walls of the groove plates 33 constituting the groove wall of the slide groove limit the displacement of the push block 50 to both sides, so that the push block 50 can achieve lifting motion on the basis of sliding in the slide groove; in addition, the groove depth of the slide groove is greater than the height of the cushion strip 31, so that when the push block 50 slides to the top of the cushion strip 31, the push block 50 can still be located in the groove cavity of the slide groove, ensuring the stability of the horizontal and lifting motions of the push block 50.

[0033] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the push block 50 is driven to slide by a cylinder 40 mounted on a horizontal seat 30. Of course, in actual implementation, any existing linear drive mechanism such as a screw slider mechanism can be used. The cylinder 40 is connected to the push block 50 through a floating head 41. Due to the setting of the floating head 41, the cylinder 40 can drive the push block 50 to slide back and forth without hindering the push block 50 from moving up and down. Specifically, the floating head 41 can be a rod-shaped structure, and its two ends are respectively connected to the cylinder 40 and the push block 50 through a ball joint or a horizontal hinge seat.

[0034] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the fixing mechanism is a suction cup assembly 10, and the first folding portion 21 of the folding spoon 20 is fixed by suction on the suction head of the suction cup assembly 10. The suction fixing method of the suction cup assembly 10 is adopted, which is convenient and quick to fix, and will not cause mechanical damage to the folding spoon 20. Of course, in actual implementation, the fixing mechanism can also adopt a clamping fixing mechanism that moves in opposite directions.

[0035] Example 2, based on the above, Figure 3-4 As shown, the suction heads of the suction cup assembly 10 are arranged in a plurality of groups spaced apart along the sliding direction of the push block 50, and a plurality of push heads 52 spaced apart along the sliding direction of the push block 50 are fixed on the top of the push block 50. The second folding portion 22 of the folding spoon 20 on each group of suction heads is respectively located on the travel path of one of the push heads 52, and the corresponding second folding portion 22 is driven by the corresponding push head 52 to fold and press toward the first folding portion 21, thereby realizing the synchronous folding of multiple folding spoons 20. In specific implementation, the suction cup assembly 10 can be connected to a multi-dimensional manipulator in the prior art, and the number and arrangement of the suction heads of the suction cup assembly 10 are set to correspond to the station cavities one by one according to the number and arrangement of the station cavities in the injection mold of the folding spoon. Thus, after the folding spoon is demolded, the suction cup assembly 10 is moved to the injection mold by the manipulator, all the folding spoons are adsorbed and demolded, and moved to the folding device to perform the folding operation of all the folding spoons 20.

[0036] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in order to prevent each push head 52 from not corresponding one-to-one with each group of adsorption heads after the push block 50 returns, a stopper 32 is fixed on the top of the horizontal seat 30 to locate the return end point of the push block 50.

[0037] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, a slider 51 is fixed to the bottom of the push block 50, and the push block 50 is matched with the slide groove and the pad strip 31 by the slider 51. A pad strip 31 and a slider 51 form a set of lifting and lowering matching components, and the lifting and lowering matching components are set in two groups, and the sliders 51 of the two sets of lifting and lowering matching components are respectively fixed below the two ends of the bottom of the push block 50, thereby enabling the push block 50 to keep both ends moving upward synchronously during the rising process, thereby ensuring that the push block 50 and all the folding spoons 20 are evenly bent and pressed.

[0038] Of course, for those skilled in the art, the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, but also includes the same or similar structures that can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, so it is intended to include all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims. Any figure mark in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.

[0039] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in accordance with the implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution.
