[0028] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments.

[0029] In the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the first feature is "on" or "under" the second feature can include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or can include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, the first feature "on" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or only means that the first feature is higher in horizontal height than the second feature. The first feature "under" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or only means that the first feature is lower in horizontal height than the second feature.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 The cover cup sleeving machine of the embodiment includes a material arranging assembly 1, the material arranging assembly 1 includes a tray 11, a side wall 12, a guide plate 13, a guide strip 14 and an outer wall 15, the side wall 12 is annular and is arranged on the surface of the tray 11, the side wall 12 rotates with the tray 11, the guide strip 14 is arranged on the side of the side wall 12 away from the center of the tray 11, the guide strip 14 is arranged at an angle with the side wall 12, the cover cup 100 can be clamped into the gap between the guide strip 14 and the side wall 12, one side of the guide plate 13 is attached to the side wall 12, one end of the guide plate 13 is flush with the surface of the tray 11, and the other end of the guide plate 13 is flush with the top of the side wall 12, and the outer wall 15 is arranged on the side of the guide strip 14 away from the side wall 12.

[0031] The material arranging assembly 1 of the cover cup sleeving machine of the embodiment is designed according to the special shape of the cover cup 100, so that the cover cup 100 can be clamped into the gap between the guide strip 14 and the side wall 12 and be stably conveyed in a correct posture, and the rotating form is adopted instead of a vibrating disc, so that the working noise is small and the material arranging efficiency is high.

[0032] Preferably, the material arranging assembly 1 further includes a plurality of adjusters 16, the adjuster 16 includes a limiting rod 161 and a jet nozzle 162 arranged on the limiting rod 161, one end of the limiting rod 161 is fixed on the outer wall 15, and the other end of the limiting rod 161 extends to the center of the tray 11 and is located above the tray 11. Due to the rotation of the tray 11, the cover cup 100 on the tray 11 is accumulated to one side of the side wall 12 due to the centrifugal force, and the cover cup 100 continues to rotate, on one hand relying on its own inertia, and on the other hand relying on the compressed air sprayed from the jet nozzle 162 to rush up the guide plate 13, and then enter the gap between the side wall 12 and the guide strip 14 and move along the gap under the drive of the side wall 12. When the cover cup 100 is not embedded in the gap in a single number and a correct posture, it will be in an unstable state or it will collide with the limiting rod 161 due to being too high, and the limiting rod 161 and the plurality of jet nozzles 162 can remove the cover cup 100 which is not embedded in the gap according to the design requirements in this process.

[0033] As shown in Figure 7As shown, preferably, the cover cup sleeve machine further comprises a feeding assembly 4, the feeding assembly 4 comprises a material box 41, a feeding belt 42 and a shell 43, the feeding belt 42 is arranged in the shell 43, the material box 41 is arranged on one side of the shell 43 and communicates with the shell 43, the cover cup 100 is conveyed from the material box 41 to the opening of the shell 43 by the feeding belt 42 and falls into the tray 11. The running speed of the feeding assembly 4 is controllable, the conveying is stable, different feeding speeds can be realized by adjusting the running speed of the feeding belt 42, and the feeding speed can be accurately adjusted according to the actual material requirements.

[0034] Specifically, the feeding belt 42 is provided with a power wheel 421, two direction-changing wheels 422 and a tensioning wheel 423, so that the conveying direction of the cover cup 100 in the material box 41 changes from vertical to horizontal, and then all falls into the tray 11.

[0035] As shown in Figures 2 to 4 Further, the feeding assembly 4 comprises a backflow channel 44, the edge of the tray 11 is provided with a backflow hole 111, the backflow hole 111 is located between the side wall 12 and the outer wall 15, one end of the backflow channel 44 communicates with the material box 41, and the other end of the backflow channel 44 is open and selectively communicates with the backflow hole 111. In the actual working process of the sorting assembly 1, part of the cover cup 100 which is not completely embedded in the gap between the side wall 12 and the guide strip 14 will fall into the tray 11, part of which will fall into the gap between the side wall 12 and the outer wall 15, the cover cup 100 which falls into the gap between the side wall 12 and the outer wall 15 rotates with the tray 11, when the backflow hole 111 rotates to the opening of the backflow channel 44, the cover cup 100 falls into the backflow channel 44 under the action of gravity and flows back to the material box 41, so as to avoid excessive cover cups 100 from accumulating in the gap between the side wall 12 and the outer wall 15.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 6 Preferably, the cover cup sleeve machine further comprises a conveying assembly 2 and a bottle clamping assembly 3, the conveying assembly 2 comprises a conveying channel 21 and a limiting spring 22, one end of the conveying channel 21 is connected with one end of the guide strip 14, and the limiting spring 22 is arranged at the other end of the conveying channel 21 and close to the bottle clamping assembly 3.

[0037] Specifically, the bottle clamping assembly 3 comprises a conveying mechanism and a pressing mechanism, the conveying mechanism comprises a first conveying belt 31 and a second conveying belt 32, the first conveying belt 31 and the second conveying belt 32 are located at the same height and are arranged at intervals, and the side close to each other of the first conveying belt 31 and the second conveying belt 32 respectively abuts against both sides of the bottle body 200 and drives the bottle body 200 to move, the bottle body 200 drags the cover cup 100 out of the conveying assembly 2, and the pressing mechanism makes the cover cup 100 press on the bottle body 200.

[0038] After the cover cup 100 enters the conveying channel 21, it will not directly fall out of the conveying channel 21 due to being blocked by the limiting spring 22. Subsequently, the top portion of the bottle body 200 conveyed by the upstream conveying line extends into the cover cup 100. Since the bottle body 200 has a certain horizontal speed, the cover cup 100 is dragged by the top portion of the bottle body 200, breaks away from the limitation of the limiting spring 22, and thus separates from the conveying assembly 2 and continues to move with the bottle body 200. Then, the cover cup 100 is compressed on the bottle body 200 by the compression mechanism, and the sleeving of the cover cup 100 is completed.

[0039] As shown in Figure 8 Further, the conveying channel 21 is obliquely arranged near one end of the bottle clamping assembly 3, the cup opening of the cover cup 100 is inclined and faces the ground, and the limiting spring 22 abuts against the side surface of the cover cup 100. Since the cover cup 100 needs to cooperate with the bottle body 200, the cup opening of the cover cup 100 needs to be inclined and face the ground direction to provide a certain entering angle for the bottle body 200. Since the side of the cup opening of the cover cup 100 needs to reserve space for the bottle body 200, the limiting spring 22 needs to be arranged on the side surface of the cover cup 100 and partially embrace the side surface of the cover cup 100 to prevent it from falling. The limiting spring 22 limits the cover cup 100 to a certain extent by its own elastic force, deforms when the cover cup 100 is dragged by the bottle body 200, and then quickly restores its shape to limit the next cover cup 100.

[0040] As shown in Figure 6 Preferably, the compression mechanism includes a third conveying belt 33 arranged directly above the cover cup 100. The third conveying belt 33 has the same transmission rate as the first conveying belt 31 and the second conveying belt 32. The bottle body 200 will not tilt due to inconsistent rates, thereby ensuring that the bottle body 200 can maintain a straight posture unchanged during the entire conveying process, and the compression process of the cover cup 100 is smoother, meeting the high-speed requirement.

[0041] Preferably, the first conveying belt 31, the second conveying belt 32, and the third conveying belt 33 can be adjusted in the vertical direction, thereby being able to adapt to bottle bodies 200 of various sizes or cover cups 100 of different sizes.

[0042] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 Preferably, the tray 11 is provided with a plurality of annular grooves 112 near the side wall 12, and the centers of the annular grooves 112 are located at the center of the tray 11. Thus, the cover cup 100 can be subjected to greater friction, the sliding friction between the cover cup 100 and the tray 11 is reduced, and the cover cup 100 is beneficial to being bumped onto the guide plate 13.

[0043] Furthermore, the end of the guide plate 13 connected to the material tray 11 is provided with several protruding teeth 131, which extend into the groove 112. The protruding teeth 131 serve as a transition between the material tray 11 and the guide plate 13, greatly reducing the resistance of the lid cup 100 moving from the material tray 11 to the guide plate 13, thereby improving the conveying efficiency.

[0044] Furthermore, a baffle 17 is provided on the side of the guide plate 13 away from the side wall 12. The top of the baffle 17 protrudes from the surface of the guide plate 13, and the bottom of the baffle 17 is spaced apart from the surface of the material tray 11. The part of the baffle 17 protruding from the guide plate 13 can provide a certain limiting function, preventing the lid cup 100 that enters the guide plate 13 from falling back onto the material tray 11.

[0045] Furthermore, the distance between the baffle 17 and the tray 11 is smaller than the size of the lid cup 100, thereby preventing the lid cup 100 from entering the space below the guide plate 13. The space below the guide plate 13 is small and relatively enclosed. If the lid cup 100 enters it, it is easy to accumulate, which is not conducive to the smooth conveying of the lid cup 100.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the material handling assembly 1 is further provided with a first material detector 18 and a second material detector 19. The first material detector 18 is located in the middle section of the guide bar 14, and the second material detector 19 is located at the end of the guide bar 14 and near the starting point of the conveying channel 21. The first material detector 18 is used to detect the quantity of lid cups 100 in the gap between the side wall 12 and the guide bar 14. When the quantity is insufficient, the feeding belt 42 feeds material to the material tray 11. When the quantity is sufficient, the feeding belt 42 stops feeding material to the material tray 11 to avoid excessive accumulation of lid cups 100 on the material tray 11. The second material detector 19 is used to detect the quantity of lid cups 100 in the conveying channel 21. When the conveying channel 21 is full of lid cups 100, the material handling assembly 1 and the feeding assembly 4 stop working, thereby ensuring that the lid cup fitting machine of this embodiment is always in a highly efficient and uncongested working state.
