The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.
[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are intended only to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0039] In the embodiment of the present invention, a full-size adaptable cup dropping device is provided. Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 The full-size adaptable cup dropping device includes a cup holder 10 , a clamping mechanism 20 , a control unit (not shown) and a diameter measuring mechanism 30 .
[0040] The cup holder 10 is provided with a cup drop channel 110; the clamping mechanism 20 includes a driving member 210 and a clamping member 220. The driving member 210 is provided on the cup holder 10 and is used to drive the clamping member 220 to clamp the cup 100. The control unit is used to control the driving member 210 so that the clamping member 220 lowers the cups 100 one by one within a telescopic cycle. The diameter measuring mechanism 30 is used to measure the diameter of the cup 100 and transmit the measured information to the control unit. The control unit controls the telescopic length of the clamping member 220 based on the diameter information of the cup 100 obtained by the diameter measuring mechanism 30.
[0041] According to the full-size adaptable cup dropper described in the above embodiment, disposable cups 100 are stacked together and placed through the cup drop channel 110 on the cup rack 10. The cups 100 first pass through the diameter measuring mechanism 30, which measures the diameter of the cups 100 and transmits this information to the control unit. Based on the obtained diameter information of the cups 100, the control unit controls the clamping member 220 to extend to an appropriate length, so that the clamping member 220 can just grip the cups 100. The control unit controls the clamping mechanism 20 to periodically extend and retract, just enough to grip the cups 100, allowing the cups 100 to drop one by one, allowing the cups 100 on the bottom layer to be removed and used. The full-size adaptable cup dropper described in the present invention can solve the problem that existing cup droppers are not compatible with full-size disposable cups.
[0042] The control unit is generally a control circuit board, which uses a pre-written program to reversely calculate the functional relationship between the deflection member 320 and the diameter of the cup 100. The cup landing channel 110 is generally circular, so that the center position of the cup landing channel 110 is easy to locate during manufacturing.
[0043] Driven by the driver 210, the clamping member 220 of the clamping mechanism 20 periodically expands and contracts. Initially, the clamping member 220 holds the bottommost cup 100. Then, the clamping member 220 begins to loosen, and the cup 100 begins to fall under the force of gravity. The clamping member 220 then begins to expand and hold the penultimate cup 100. Once the bottommost cup 100 is removed, the movement repeats.
[0044] It should be noted that after the bottom cup 100 is released, it will not separate from the penultimate cup 100. This is because of the static friction between the cups 100. Therefore, a robot arm is required to remove the bottom cup 100. This robot arm requires an action to remove the bottom cup 100, and this action signal is usually captured by the control unit, which then initiates the next periodic movement of the clamping mechanism 20.
[0045] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The diameter measuring mechanism 30 includes an angle sensor 310, a deflection member 320, a linkage member 330, and distance measuring jaws 340 equidistantly arranged in a ring around the cup drop channel 110. The distance measuring jaws 340 are rotatably connected to the cup holder 10. The two ends of the linkage member 330 are respectively rotatably connected to two adjacent distance measuring jaws 340 to synchronize the movement of the distance measuring jaws 340.
[0046] One end of the linkage member 330 is rotatably connected to the angle sensor 310, and the other end is rotatably connected to the linkage member 330 or the distance measuring clamp 340. The angle sensor 310 can measure the rotation angle of the deflection member 320 to calculate the diameter of the cup 100. The control unit controls the extension and retraction length of the clamp 220 based on the diameter information of the cup 100 obtained by the angle sensor 310.
[0047] In this embodiment, the cup 100 first passes through the diameter measuring mechanism 30 and is abutted by the distance measuring jaws 340. During this process, the linkage 330 links all the distance measuring jaws 340, ensuring that the center of the cup 100 always coincides with the center of the cup landing channel 110. When the cup 100 abuts the distance measuring jaws 340, the cup 100 forces the distance measuring jaws 340 to extend or retract, thereby causing the linkage 330 to deflect. At this point, the angle sensor 310 senses the deflection angle of the linkage 330, and the control unit calculates the diameter of the cup 100.
[0048] It should be noted that the diameter measuring mechanism 30 can be implemented in a variety of other ways. Any technical solution that can measure the diameter of a cup body falls within the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, a vision module can be used. Specifically, a camera can be used to capture image information of the cup 100, and then the diameter of the cup 100 can be calculated using software.
[0049] Another example is measuring the diameter of a cup using light ranging. Specifically, a light transceiver (not shown) is fixed to the cup holder 10. The light transceiver transmits light onto the cup, where it is reflected and received. The distance between the light transceiver and the cup is calculated by calculating the time difference in the light's travel. The distance from the light transceiver to the center of the cup's rim is pre-measured, and the difference between the two can be used to calculate the cup's diameter.
[0050] In some specific embodiments, the distance measuring mechanism is further provided with an elastic member (not shown), the two ends of which are connected to the linkage member 330 and the cup holder 10 so that the measuring claw moves toward the center of the cup drop channel 110 .
[0051] In this embodiment, the elastic member can force the distance measuring jaw 340 to always abut against the cup 100. The elastic member is generally a spring or a torsion spring, which can pull the linkage member 330, thereby forcing the distance measuring jaw 340 to close as much as possible.
[0052] In some specific embodiments, a guide portion 3410 is provided at one end of the distance measuring clamping jaw 340 close to the cup 100 , and the guide portion 3410 is used to guide the cup 100 to fall into the center area of the cup falling channel 110 .
[0053] The guide portions 3410 of the multiple distance measuring jaws 340 form a trumpet shape, which is used to guide the cup body to fall into the center area of the cup falling channel 110, so that the measurement result of the diameter measuring mechanism 30 can be more accurate.
[0054] On the other hand, it is convenient for employees to put a stack of cups 100 into the cup drop channel 110 and saves the time required for employees to align the cups 100.
[0055] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 4-Figure 8 The driving member 210 includes a motor 2110 and a rotating member 2120. The rotating member 2120 has a guide hole 2121 and a transmission structure 2122. The motor 2110 drives the rotating member 2120 to rotate around the center of the cup-dropping channel 110 through the transmission structure 2122. The distance between each point on the guide hole 2121 and the center of the cup-dropping channel 110 changes gradually; the clamping member 220 includes a main body 2210 and an abutment portion 2220. The cup holder 10 is provided with a guide groove 120 along the radial direction of the cup-dropping channel 110. The main body 2210 is restricted to move in the guide groove 120, and the abutment portion 2220 extends into the guide hole 2121.
[0056] This embodiment is the first embodiment of the clamping mechanism 20. The motor 2110 rotates the rotating member 2120 via the transmission structure 2122. The abutment portion 2220 of the clamping member 220 is inserted into the guide hole 2121. As the rotating member 2120 rotates, the interaction between the rotating member 2120 and the clamping member 220 causes the clamping member 220 to move. Because the body 2210 of the clamping member 220 is constrained within the guide slot 120, the clamping member 220 can only move radially along the cup drop channel 110.
[0057] The distance between each point on the guide hole 2121 and the center of the cup-dropping channel 110 changes gradually, so the corresponding position of the abutment member on the guide hole 2121 also corresponds to the distance between the clamping member 220 and the center of the cup-dropping channel 110. In other words, every time the rotating member 2120 rotates by one angle, the distance between the clamping member 220 and the center of the cup-dropping channel 110 changes accordingly.
[0058] The motor 2110 drives the rotating member 2120 to rotate forward and reverse, thereby controlling the telescopic movement of the clamping member 220 .
[0059] In some specific embodiments, the driving member 210 includes a motor 2110, a rotating member 2120 and a fixed member (not shown in the figure). The fixed member is fixed on the cup holder 10 and is provided with a guide hole 2121. The distance between each point on the guide hole 2121 and the center of the cup-dropping channel 110 changes gradually; the rotating member 2120 is provided with a guide groove 120 radially arranged along the cup-dropping channel 110 by a transmission mechanism. The clamping member 220 includes a main body 2210 and an abutment portion 2220. The main body 2210 is restricted to move in the guide groove 120, and the abutment portion 2220 extends into the guide hole 2121. The motor 2110 is used to drive the rotating member 2120 to rotate around the center of the cup-dropping channel 110.
[0060] This embodiment is a second embodiment of the clamping mechanism 20. It differs from the first embodiment primarily in that the clamping member 220 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating member 2120. That is, the clamping member 220 moves radially along the cup dropping channel 110 while performing circumferential motion, while the fixed member with the guide hole 2121 remains stationary.
[0061] In the second embodiment, the guide hole 2121 may also be directly provided on the cup holder 10 .
[0062] In some specific embodiments, the driving member 210 includes a motor 2110 and a screw (not shown), the clamping member 220 is screwed to the screw, and the motor 2110 is used to drive the screw to rotate so that the clamping member 220 moves along the axial direction of the screw.
[0063] This embodiment is a third embodiment of the clamping mechanism 20. The clamping mechanism 20 achieves the effect of clamping the paper cup by moving the motor 2110 and the lead screw. This is equivalent to the opening and closing of a conventional mechanical gripper, where the gripping members 220 mounted on the lead screw are moved closer or further apart by rotating the lead screw.
[0064] In some specific embodiments, the transmission structure 2122 is a gear, and the motor 2110 is engaged with the gear to drive the rotating member 2120 to rotate.
[0065] The transmission structure 2122 can be a gear transmission, a belt transmission, or a chain transmission. The gear transmission can achieve further precise control of the clamping member 220. Therefore, the gear and the motor 2110 are meshed, and there is almost no risk of slippage.
[0066] In some specific embodiments, the motor 2110 is a stepper motor 2110 .
[0067] A stepper motor 2110 is an electromagnetic device that converts electrical pulses into mechanical angular displacement. The working principle of a stepper motor 2110 is based on the principles of electromagnetism, which drives the rotor to rotate by changing the magnetic field inside the motor 2110.
[0068] Stepper motor 2110 can be controlled by digital signals. Each pulse signal causes motor 2110 to rotate a fixed angle, called the step angle. The step angle depends on the design of motor 2110; common values include 1.8 degrees, 0.9 degrees, and 0.72 degrees. Stepper motor 2110 provides very precise angle control and can rotate precisely in any direction.
[0069] In some specific embodiments, a sensing sensor 40 is further provided. The sensing sensor 40 is electrically connected to the control unit and is used to sense the cup 100 .
[0070] The inductive sensor 40 can sense the cups 100. If all the cups 100 have been taken away, the inductive sensor 40 will send a signal to remind the staff to add cups 100. The inductive sensor 40 is generally selected as a light sensor.
[0071] In some specific embodiments, the number of the clamping mechanisms 20 is not less than two, and the clamping mechanisms 20 are stacked one above the other.
[0072] In this embodiment, the control unit controls the upper and lower clamping mechanisms 20 to operate sequentially, thereby better controlling the falling of the cup 100. Specifically, two clamping mechanisms 20 are used as an example, hereinafter referred to as the upper clamping mechanism 20 and the lower clamping mechanism 20 for easier understanding of this embodiment.
[0073] The upper clamping mechanism 20 begins to clamp the bottom cup 100, and the lower clamping mechanism 20 begins to be in the same clamping state as the upper clamping mechanism 20. At this point, the upper clamping mechanism 20 begins to loosen, causing the cups 100 to fall and the bottom cup 100 to come into contact with the lower clamping mechanism 20. Next, the upper clamping mechanism 20 begins to clamp the cups 100, keeping the entire cup 100 stationary, while the lower clamping mechanism 20 begins to loosen the bottom cup 100 to facilitate removal. This reciprocating process ensures that the cup 100 removed each time is the bottom one. By providing at least two clamping mechanisms 20, the accuracy of the cup dropping device can be ensured, thereby overcoming the problem of inconsistent falling speeds of the cups 100.
[0074] In some specific embodiments, the vertical distance between the clamping members 220 of two adjacent clamping mechanisms 20 is smaller than the distance between two adjacent cups 100 .
[0075] In this embodiment, by limiting the vertical distance between the clamping members 220 of two adjacent clamping mechanisms 20 to be smaller than the distance between two adjacent cups 100, it is basically possible to ensure that when the cups 100 are removed, only the bottom cup 100 is removed, thereby preventing multiple cups 100 from being removed.
[0076] Finally, it should be noted that the guide hole 2121 does not necessarily need to be through-hole, but may also be a groove-shaped one, as long as it can generate a force on the abutting portion 2220 , it is within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0077] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0078] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model patent shall be determined by the appended claims.
