DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, Figure 1-10 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cup receiving and delivering device, comprising

[0057] Free cup holder 100;

[0058] The transverse conveying mechanism 200 includes a transverse transmission and conveying component 210 and a first receiving component 220 for receiving and placing the cup delivery seat 100. The two ends of the transverse transmission and conveying component are respectively a first inlet and a first outlet;

[0059] The vertical conveying mechanism 300 includes a vertical transmission conveying component 310 and a second receiving component 320 for receiving the side of the cup holder 100. The two ends of the vertical transmission conveying component 310 are respectively a second inlet and a second outlet.

[0060] A driving mechanism 400, wherein the output end of the driving mechanism 400 is respectively connected to the horizontal transmission and conveying assembly 210 and the vertical transmission and conveying assembly 310;

[0061] Among them, the driving mechanism 400 drives the horizontal transmission conveying component 210 and the vertical transmission conveying component 310 in the forward direction, so that the first receiving component 220 drives the cup delivery holder 100 to be transported from the first inlet to the first outlet, and the second receiving component 320 transported to the second inlet is connected to the cup delivery holder 100; the driving mechanism 400 drives the horizontal transmission conveying component 210 and the vertical transmission conveying component 310 in the reverse direction, so that the second receiving component 320 drives the cup delivery holder 100 to be transported to the second outlet, and the first receiving component 220 is transported to the first inlet.

[0062] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to pick up and deliver a cup body, the cup body is placed in the top receiving port of the cup delivery seat 100, and then the cup delivery seat 100 is placed in the receiving and matching position of the first receiving component 220, and the driving mechanism 400 is started to drive forward, and the driving mechanism 400 drives the horizontal transmission conveying component 210 to move the first receiving component 220 from the preset first inlet to the first outlet. At the same time, the driving mechanism 400 drives the vertical transmission conveying component 310 to move the second receiving component 320 from the second outlet to the second inlet. When the first receiving component 220 moves to the first outlet, the second receiving component 320 moves to the second inlet at the same time. At this time, the second receiving component 320 is connected with the side of the cup delivery seat 100; then, the driving mechanism 400 drives in the reverse direction, and the driving mechanism 400 drives the second receiving component 320 to drive the cup delivery seat 100 to the second outlet, and the first receiving component 220 is transported to the first inlet. Therefore, after the cup delivery stand 100 receives the cup body, it is first transported horizontally and then vertically, thereby achieving a convenient and fast delivery process.

[0063] As an optional embodiment, the driving mechanism 400 includes

[0064] A driving motor 410;

The above-mentioned transmission gear group is adopted, so that one drive motor can provide power for the horizontal transmission conveying component and the vertical transmission conveying component at the same time. With this gear transmission method, the transmission distance in the vertical direction is 1.2 times the transmission distance in the horizontal direction, that is, the vertical transmission stroke of the pick-up and delivery cup holder is 1.2 times the horizontal transmission stroke, which can achieve better connection, transfer and transmission of the pick-up and delivery cup holder. Compared with the setting method of separately setting the drive motor in the horizontal transmission conveying component and the vertical transmission conveying component, it saves space, the structural setting is more reasonable, and the cost is saved.
