[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and by way of examples. The following examples are intended to explain the present invention but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0020] The present invention comprises a feeding conveying line 1, a tooling plate 2, a tension controller 3, a robot device 4 and a tray loading device 5.

[0021] The feeding conveying line 1 comprises a frame 11 , a conveying chain 12 , a sprocket 13 and a motor 14 .

[0022] The sprocket 13 is rotatably mounted on the frame 11 .

[0023] The motor 14 is mounted on the frame 11. The motor shaft of the motor 14 is connected to the sprocket 13, and can drive the sprocket 13 to rotate, thereby moving the conveyor chain 12.

[0024] The conveyor chain 12 is installed on the sprocket wheel 13. The conveyor chain 12 is an endless chain.

[0025] The tooling plate 2 includes a bottom plate 21 and a support platform 22 .

[0026] The bottom plate 21 is fixedly mounted on the conveying chain 12 .

[0027] The support platform 22 is fixedly disposed on the bottom plate 21. In this embodiment, the support platform 22 and the bottom plate 21 are integrally formed.

[0028] A placement hole 23 is provided on the support platform 22. The milk tea cup is conical, and the aperture of the placement hole 23 is smaller than the outer diameter of the upper part of the milk tea cup, and larger than the outer diameter of the lower part of the milk tea cup, so that the lower part of the milk tea cup can be placed in the placement hole 23, and the upper part is stuck in the placement hole 23, so that the milk tea cup is placed in the placement hole 23 and will not fall.

[0029] There are multiple tooling plates 2, which are installed on the conveying chain 12 in sequence.

[0030] The tension controller 3 includes a fixing plate 31 , a spring 32 , a supporting plate 33 and a lifting plate 34 .

[0031] The fixing plate 31 is fixedly mounted on the frame 11. A mounting groove 35 is provided in the fixing plate 31.

[0032] The lifting plate 34 is installed in the installation groove 35 in a lifting and sliding manner.

[0033] The spring 32 is disposed in the mounting groove 35 , with the top of the spring 32 connected to the lifting plate 34 and the bottom of the spring 32 connected to the fixing plate 31 .

[0034] The supporting plate 33 is fixedly mounted on the top of the lifting plate 34, and the head of the supporting plate 33 is against the bottom of the conveying chain 12. The head of the supporting plate 33 is in an arc shape, so that when the conveying chain 12 moves, excessive friction will not be generated.

[0035] There are multiple tension controllers 3 , which are arranged in sequence along the conveyor chain 12 .

[0036] The structural characteristics of the chain conveyor line are that the conveyor chain 12 is suspended. When the milk tea cup is placed in the placement hole 23, the tooling plate 2 will sink, causing the conveyor chain 12 to sink. At this time, the tension controller 3 plays two roles: 1. It supports the conveyor chain 12 to prevent it from sinking too much; 2. It plays a buffering role to prevent it from sinking too fast. This can prevent the liquid in the milk tea cup 6 from splashing out.

[0037] The robot device 4 is arranged at the tail of the feeding conveying line 1, and includes a manipulator 41 and a clamp 42, and the clamp 42 is mounted on the manipulator 41. The clamp 42 includes a clamp bracket, a clamping cylinder and a clamp. The clamp bracket is mounted on the manipulator 41. The clamping cylinder is mounted on the clamp bracket. The clamp is mounted on the clamping cylinder.

[0038] The tray loading device 5 is arranged at the tail end of the feeding conveying line 1. The tray loading device 5 comprises a silo 51, a silo cylinder 52, a discharging cylinder, a slideway 53 and a bracket 54.

[0039] The silo 51 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 54. The silo 51 is used to place the tray 7, and the silo 51 is provided with a tray outlet.

[0040] The silo cylinder 52 is mounted on a bracket 54. A silo cylinder push block is mounted on the cylinder rod of the silo cylinder 52, and the silo cylinder push block is located at the bottom of the silo 51.

[0041] The slideway 53 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 54 . The slideway 53 is located outside the outlet of the silo 51 . The slideway 53 and the silo cylinder 52 are vertically arranged.

[0042] The discharging cylinder is mounted on the bracket 54. A discharging cylinder push block is mounted on the cylinder rod of the discharging cylinder, and the discharging cylinder push block is located at the rear of the slideway 53. The discharging cylinder and the silo cylinder 52 are arranged vertically.

[0043] When working, put the milk tea cup 6 into the placement hole 23, and the feeding conveyor line 1 drives the tooling plate 2 to move; the silo cylinder 52 is activated, and the silo cylinder push block pushes the tray 7 at the bottom of the silo 51 out of the tray outlet and drops it into the slide 53. When the tooling plate 2 with the milk tea cup moves to the tail of the feeding conveyor line 1, the manipulator 41 drives the clamp 42, and the clamp 42 clamps the milk tea cup 6 and puts it into the tray 7 on the slide 53. After the specified number of milk tea cups 6 are placed in the tray 7 on the slide 53, the discharging cylinder is activated, and the discharging cylinder push block pushes the tray 7 on the slide 53 out of the slide 53, and the tray 7 falls to the meal outlet and is taken away by consumers or staff.

[0044] In addition, it should be noted that the shapes and names of the parts and components of the specific embodiments described in this specification may be different, and the above content described in this specification is only an example of the structure of the present invention. All equivalent changes or simple changes made based on the structure, features and principles described in the patent concept of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the patent of the present invention. Technicians in the technical field of the present invention can make various modifications or supplements to the specific embodiments described or replace them in a similar manner, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
