Pick rod running grooves 6 communicating with the through grooves 5 are opened inside the bottom plate 1, the fixed plate 3, the first flipping plate 4 and the second flipping plate 13. A pusher running groove 14 communicating with the through groove 5 is opened inside the second flipping plate 13. Four cup lid anti-falling rods 7 are arranged on the surface of the through groove 5. The inner parts of the bottom plate 1, the fixed plate 3, the first flipping plate 4 and the second flipping plate 13 are fixedly sleeved with the surfaces of the cup lid anti-falling rods 7. A limiting mechanism 8 is arranged inside the cup lid anti-falling rods 7. A translation mechanism 9 and a lifting mechanism 10 are respectively arranged on one side of the bottom plate 1. A lid pushing mechanism 11 is bolted on one side of the bracket 2. A flipping mechanism 12 is arranged on the other side of the bottom plate 1. By storing the cup lids on the top of the bottom plate 1 first, waiting until the required number of cup lids is reached, then cooperating between the translation mechanism 9 and the lifting mechanism 10 to send the cup lids to the top of the first flipping plate 4, and then driving the second flipping plate 13, the first flipping plate 4 and the cup lids on the top of the first flipping plate 4 to flip through the flipping mechanism 12, so that the cup lids are at 90 degrees. Finally, cooperating with the lid pushing mechanism 11 to insert and push the cup lids on one side of the first flipping plate 4, directly pushing the cup lids into the packaging machine for packaging, the purpose of docking with the packaging machine is achieved, thereby eliminating the use of manual labor and improving the packaging efficiency of the packaging machine for cup lids.

[0019] Further, the limiting mechanism 8 includes a limiting rod 81. One side of the limiting rod 81 is bolted with a groove 82 through a spring fixing member. One end of the groove 82 is bolted with a cup lid anti-drop rod 7 through a spring fixing member. A spring 83 is arranged inside the cup lid anti-drop rod 7. The bottom of the limiting rod 81 is bolted with the cup lid anti-drop rod 7 through a rotating block. The inner part of the spring 83 is sleeved with the groove 82 and the limiting rod 81 respectively. Through the arrangement of the limiting mechanism 8, it is used to limit the cup lid, so that the cup lid can squeeze the limiting rod 81 to make the limiting rod 81 flip. After the cup lid reaches the top of the limiting rod 81, the limiting rod 81 automatically rebounds, thus completing the limitation of the cup lid.

[0020] Further, the translation mechanism 9 includes a translation cylinder 91. Two connecting plates 92 are bolted to one side of the translation cylinder 91. The surfaces of the connecting plates 92 are bolted to the bottom of the bottom plate 1. Through the arrangement of the translation mechanism 9, it is used to drive the lifting mechanism 10 to move back and forth.

[0021] Further, the lifting mechanism 10 includes a connecting rod 101. A number of picking rods 102 are bolted to one side of the connecting rod 101. An electric slider one 103 is bolted to one side of the picking rod 102. An electric slide rail one 104 is slidably connected inside the electric slider one 103. The bottom of the electric slide rail one 104 is bolted to the translation cylinder 91 through a mounting plate. Through the arrangement of the lifting mechanism 10, it is used to drive the picking rod 102 to pick up the cup lid on the top of the bottom plate 1, so that the cup lid can reach between the two flipping plates one 4, and then it is convenient for the pusher 117 to push the cup lid out between the flipping plate one 4 and the flipping plate two 13.

[0022] Further, the lid pushing mechanism 11 includes a positioning plate one 111. An electric slide rail two 112 is bolted to one side of the positioning plate one 111. An electric slider two 113 is slidably connected to one side of the electric slide rail two 112. A positioning plate two 114 is bolted to one side of the electric slider two 113. An electric slide rail three 115 is bolted to one side of the positioning plate two 114. An electric slider three 116 is slidably connected to one side of the electric slide rail three 115. A pusher 117 is bolted to one side of the electric slider three 116. Through the arrangement of the lid pushing mechanism 11, it is used to push the cup lid between the flipping plate one 4 and the flipping plate two 13 to move, so that the cup lid can be pushed into the packaging machine from between the flipping plate one 4 and the flipping plate two 13, thus completing the docking work with the packaging machine.

[0023] Further, the flipping mechanism 12 includes a flipping cylinder 121. The top end of the flipping cylinder 121 is bolted with a mounting seat 122 through a rotating block. One side of the mounting seat 122 is bolted to the flipping plate one 4. The bottom end of the flipping cylinder 121 is bolted to the bottom of the bottom plate 1 through a rotating block. Through the arrangement of the flipping mechanism 12, it is used to drive the flipping plate one 4 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the flipping plate one 4 can drive each structure connected to it and the cup lid on its top to rotate 90 degrees, and then it is convenient for the lid pushing mechanism 11 to push the cup lid into the packaging machine.

[0024] Working principle: When in use, the cup lid is pushed into the top of the bottom plate 1 by a cylinder. When the cup lid reaches the top of the bottom plate 1, it will squeeze the limit rod 81. After being squeezed, the limit rod 81 will compress the groove 82. Then the cup lid will reach the top of the limit rod 81. After the cup lid reaches the top of the limit rod 81, the limit rod 81 is no longer squeezed by the cup lid. At this time, the groove 82 automatically rebounds to limit the bottom of the cup lid. Then the cylinder continues to push the cup lid to the top of the bottom plate 1 to stack the cup lids. After the cup lids are stacked to the required quantity, the connecting plate 92 is activated to pull the translation cylinder 91 and the electric slide rail 104 connected thereto towards the bottom plate 1. When the electric slide rail 104 is pulled, it will drive the electric slider 103, the connecting rod 101 and the pick-up rod 102 to move. After the pick-up rod 102 moves, it will reach the bottom of the bottom plate 1. Subsequently, the electric slide rail 104 and the electric slider 103 are activated. The electric slider 103 will drive the connecting rod 101 to move upward, and the connecting rod 101 will drive the pick-up rod 102 to lift the cup lids on the top of the bottom plate 1 through the pick-up rod running groove 6. After the cup lids rise with the pick-up rod 102, they will pass through the fixed plate 3 and the first turning plate 4. When the cup lids reach the top of the first turning plate 4, they will be limited by the limit rod 81 again. After all the cup lids reach the top of the first turning plate 4, the turning cylinder 121 is activated. After the turning cylinder 121 is activated, it will retract. When the turning cylinder 121 retracts, it will drive the first turning plate 4 and the structures connected thereto as well as the cup lids to turn through the rotating block at the top end. At the same time, as the turning cylinder 121 retracts and the first turning plate 4 turns, the rotating block at the bottom end of the turning cylinder 121 will also rotate. After the turning cylinder 121 finishes retracting, the first turning plate 4 will be in a 90-degree state. And at this time, the second electric slide rail 112 and the second electric slider 113 are activated. The second electric slider 113 will drive the second positioning plate 114 and the pusher 117 to approach the bracket 2. Then the pusher 117 will reach the center of one side of the first turning plate 4. Then the third electric slide rail 115 and the third electric slider 116 are activated. The third electric slider 116 will drive the pusher 117 to push the cup lids away from the mechanism through the pusher running groove 14, so that the cup lids are fed onto the conveyor belt of the packaging machine, thus completing the docking with the packaging machine.
