[0035] Specifically, the fixed tube 203 is fixed to the inner wall of the connecting port 23, and the inner wall is rotatably connected to the connecting tube 201, so that the connecting tube 201 can rotate. The left side of the connecting tube 201 is firmly fixedly connected to the limiting ring 205 to prevent the position of the connecting tube 201 from shifting. The left side of the fixed tube 203 is fixedly connected to the slide rail 206, which can help the fixed tube 203 to be rotatably connected to the limiting ring 205. A groove 1 204 is provided on the right side of the fixed tube 203, and a plurality of balls 202 are rotatably connected to the inner wall. The balls 202 can reduce friction and make the rotation smoother. The groove 207 is the same size as the groove 1 204, so that the balls 202 can roll more smoothly on the inner walls of both sides.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The left end of the connecting pipe 201 is fixedly connected to the air pipe 9, the inner walls of the groove 207 and the groove 1 204 coincide with the outer walls of the plurality of balls 202, the top left end of the fixed plate 1 is fixedly connected to the air pump 10, the top of the air pump 10 is fixedly connected to the sealing ring 22, the left side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the gear 1 5, and the right side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the limit block 21;

[0037] Specifically, the left end of the connecting tube 201 is connected to the air pipe 9, which provides a channel for the transmission of gas. The inner walls of groove 207 and groove 1 204 coincide with the outer walls of multiple balls 202, so that the connecting tube 201 reduces friction resistance when rotating. The left end of the top of the fixed plate 1 is connected to the air pump 10, which provides dynamic suction for the device through the air pipe 9. The sealing ring 22 connected to the top of the air pump 10 is connected to the air pipe 9 to prevent gas leakage. The left side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the gear 1 5, which can realize power transmission and speed adjustment. The right side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3 is connected to the limiting block 21 to prevent the rotating shaft 3 from detaching from the top of the fixed plate 1, thereby ensuring the reliability of operation.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The left side of the outer wall of the fixed plate 1 is fixedly connected to a fixed block 16, the top rear side of the fixed block 16 is fixedly connected to a brake motor 17, the output end of the brake motor 17 is fixedly connected to a gear 2 18, the inner wall of the adsorption tube 7 is slidably connected to a paper water cup 13, the top front side of the fixed block 16 is fixedly connected to a support frame 19, and the top of the support frame 19 is fixedly connected to a plurality of rollers 20;

[0039] Specifically, a fixed block 16 is connected to the left side of the outer wall of the fixed plate 1, and a brake motor 17 is connected to the top of the fixed block 16. The brake motor 17 serves as a power source, driving the gear 2 18 at its output end to drive the gear 1 5 and the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. The adsorption tube 7 can effectively adsorb the paper water cup 13, so that it remains stable and will not fall off during the rotation process. The support frame 19 supports the rotating shaft 3, and a plurality of rollers 20 are connected to the top thereof, which can reduce friction and does not affect the rotation operation of the rotating shaft 3.

[0040] Working principle: When the device is working, the brake motor 17 drives the gear 2 18 at its output end to rotate. Because the gear 2 18 is meshed with the gear 1 5, the brake motor 17 can drive the rotating shaft 3 fixed to the gear 1 5 to rotate synchronously. When the rotating shaft 3 rotates, the four-way block 6 fixed on the left end rotates synchronously, and the air pump 10 evacuates the four-way block 6 through the air pipe 9. At this time, the multiple adsorption tubes 7 connected to the outer wall of the four-way block 6 can adsorb the paper water cup 13. Because the outer wall of the adsorption tube 7 is provided with multiple air inlets 8, when the paper water cup 13 is adsorbed, part of the suction force will The paper cup 13 is diluted by the air entering from the air inlet 8 to avoid damage to the paper cup 13 due to excessive suction. When the inner wall of the adsorption tube 7 is adsorbed to the paper cup 13, the cross-piece block 6 rotates, so that the other three adsorption tubes 7 are put into operation together. When one of the adsorption tubes 7 rotates to a vertical downward position, the telescopic module 11 pushes the baffle 12 to move, blocking the circular hole 14 inside the cross-piece block 6, so that the paper cup 13 is no longer subjected to suction. At this time, the other three adsorption tubes 7 are not affected and work normally. Subsequently, the paper cup 13 stops due to suction and slides downward under its own gravity to proceed to the next step of packaging and printing;

[0041] In addition, the connecting pipe 201 rotates inside the fixed pipe 203. When the four-way block 6 rotates, the fixed pipe 203 fixed thereto rotates synchronously. The connecting pipe 201 can remain in its original position due to the rotating connection. The limiting ring 205 is fixed on the connecting pipe 201 and is rotationally connected to the slide rail 206 connected to the fixed pipe 203, so that the connecting pipe 201 can be guaranteed not to be positionally offset while the fixed pipe 203 rotates. The inner rotation connection of the groove 207 and the groove 1 204 is connected with the ball 202. When the fixed pipe 203 rotates, multiple balls 202 also rotate, reducing the friction between the fixed pipe 203 and the connecting pipe 201. At the same time, it can help the connecting pipe 201 not be affected by the rotation of the fixed pipe 203, thereby reducing the leakage of gas before entering the four-way block 6.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, although the foregoing embodiments of the present application has been described in detail, for the skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or for part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, the spirit and principles of the present application, made any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included within the scope of the present application.
